1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
2 cups mild cheddar cheese, grated

Can I use masa harina instead of cornmeal?

I had a hard time getting the surullitos to brown evenly. I ended up having to cook them for a few minutes longer than the recipe called for.

I think the recipe could use a little more spice. I added a pinch of cayenne pepper and it really brought out the flavor of the cornmeal.

The surullitos were a bit too salty for my taste.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a fan of cornmeal. But I'm so glad I did! These surullitos de maíz are amazing. They're crispy, flavorful, and addictive. I will definitely be making these again and again.

I'm Puerto Rican and these surullitos de maíz reminded me of home. They were crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. I will definitely be making these again.
