Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Deep Fried Corn Meal Sticks with Dipping Sauce.
Step 1
To start, pour 2 cups of water into a saucepan and bring it to a vigorous boil.
Step 2
Once boiling, mix in 3 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of butter, and 1 teaspoon of salt, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves.
Step 3
Lower the heat and gradually whisk in 1 cup of cornmeal, ensuring the mixture becomes smooth.
Step 4
Slowly incorporate the remaining 1/2 cup of cornmeal to create a thick, pliable dough.
Step 5
In a deep fryer or large saucepan, heat 3 cups of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Lightly grease your hands with 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil, then take about 3 tablespoons of the cornmeal dough, rolling it into a ball and shaping it into a stick approximately 3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.
Step 7
Continue this process with the rest of the dough, reapplying oil to your hands as necessary.
Step 8
Fry the cornmeal sticks in batches of 3 or 4 until they achieve a beautiful golden brown color.
Step 9
Once cooked, drain them on paper towels to absorb excess oil and keep them warm.
Step 10
For a delightful dipping sauce, whisk together 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of ketchup, and a pinch of garlic salt until well blended.
Step 11
Serve your crispy cornmeal sticks alongside this tasty sauce for a perfect snack or appetizer that will impress your guests.
