Sorullos are made of a mix of hot water, salt and cornmeal, formed as sticks or logs, then fried or cooked in olive oil & butter mix. The flavor is usually lightly sweet, but can also be savory. Sorullos are best served hot, and the texture is crisp on the outside and dense and soft in the inside. Sweet sorullos contain sugar, butter, hot milk (instead of water), spices (such as clove, nutmeg and cinnamon), they can also be stuffed with cheese and guava paste.
