Instructions

- With a dough blender, cut margarine thoroughly into cornmeal mixture.
- Pour milk and add shredded cheese.
- Stir until all the ingredients are well blended. Let stand for 3 minutes to allow the cornmeal to absorb the liquid.

- Fry until golden on both sides.
- Place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
- Serve warm with a strong hot cup of Puerto Rican coffee.

You can use butter or regular margarine. I use skim milk but you can also use whole milk, 2% milk, etc.
