Best Panamanian Tortillas Thick Corn Cakes Recipes
HOJALDRE
Traditional Panamanian breakfast cuisine!! Hojaldre is basically the Panamanian equivalent of fried dough. It is really delicious with anything from a fried egg to cheese slices on top. However, my personal favourite is to eat it plain. Because, the dough needs to sit overnight, this makes an excellent Saturday or Sunday breakfast treat. Enjoy! NOTE: The prep/cooking time does not take into account that you need to leave the dough overnight!!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar.
- Make a well in the middle and add the oil and a little water.
- Knead, adding the rest of the water little by little.
- Let the dough sit overnight in the refrigerator.
- When you are ready to make the hojaldres, heat a pan with the oil for frying over medium-high heat.
- To form the hojaldres, take a golf ball size of dough and stretch it by hand until it is roughly 6 inches in diameter. Drop the stretched dough into the hot oil and fry until it is golden brown, turning once. The dough will puff up and parts of the hojaldre will be crispy and parts will be bready.
- ENJOY!

CHEESY PANAMANIAN TORTILLAS
The best way to eat/reheat Panamanian Tortillas! My mom swears up and down you can't reheat tortillas, but her siblings and I live for these. It makes a great breakfast or snack, especially for those on the go! You can use any kind of cheese, but beware of a few things: do not reheat tortillas more than once, and only use Panamanian Tortillas! They are not the same thing as Mexican Corn Tortillas, so make sure you know what you've got. ;) If you don't know how to make these tortillas, just check out the recipe I've posted under "Panamanian Tortillas". Also, don't use your toaster to reheat these. It's a good idea in theory, but it can ruin your toaster. lol. Have fun!
