GORDITAS
4 C. Masa Harina®
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
Cold water
Vegetable oil
Combine Masa Harina, baking powder and salt. Add
enough cold water to mixture to make a soft dough.
Form dough into balls a little larger than golf balls. Place
dough ball between wax paper and press out like a thick
corn tortilla.
Heat griddle. Place dough on hot griddle for 2 or 3 minutes
per side until half cooked.
Heat vegetable oil to cover gorditas by an inch or so in pan
or deep skillet. Heat to about 370ºF. Put half-cooked
gorditas in hot fat, spooning fat on gordita, if needed, until
it puffs, about 2 minutes.
Drain on absorbent paper towels, then fill as desired.
