Steps:
- Bring water to a boil in a saucepan and stir in sugar, butter, and salt until sugar has dissolved. Turn heat to low and whisk in 1 cup of cornmeal until smooth. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup cornmeal to make a very thick, workable dough.
- Heat 3 cups vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease your hands well with 2 teaspoons of oil and scoop about 3 tablespoons of cornmeal dough; roll the dough into a ball, then shape into a 3-inch long stick about 1/2 inch wide. Repeat with remaining dough, oiling your hands as needed. Deep-fry the cornmeal sticks until golden brown, working in batches of 3 or 4 at a time. Drain fried cornmeal sticks on paper towels and keep warm.
- Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and garlic salt in a bowl until well combined; serve cornmeal sticks with the sauce for dipping.

Serve with salsa rosada or ketchup.

CARIBBEAN SPICED CORN-ON-THE-COB
A spicy summer time treat that adds a different approach to your average corn on the cob. I found this recipe in "Woman's World" Magazine with a little of my own changes, and use it almost every time I make corn. Very adjustable, quick & easy to make. Great for picnics or BBQ's, and gives you that "your-on-vacation" feeling. If you know someone who doesn't like corn-on-the-cob, this just might make a believer out of them. Enjoy! =^_^= P.S. This is even good drizzled over microwaved frozen or canned corn if you don't have time to cook cobs.
