Grandma's Gorditas image

One of my favorite dishes that my grandma has taught me how to make. After they are cooked they can be stuffed with whatever filling you like.

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ¼ cups instant corn masa flour (such as Maseca®)
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
½ cup water, or as needed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine corn masa flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Add a little water at a time until a firm dough forms. Divide dough into equal pieces and roll between your hands to form small balls. Press dough into 1/4-inch circles.
  • Heat a griddle or comal over medium heat. Add dough circles to the hot griddle and cook until light brown, slightly inflated, and cooked on the outsides, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry gorditas in batches, if necessary, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
