Tatizas (Chamorro Snack) image

This is a really yummy snack. It looks like a thick tortilla but has a sweet subtle coconut flavor. I got the recipe from my Chamorro mother-in-law. They're great with a little bit of butter! I usually make them at the beginning of the week and make one each day to share with the family.

Time 10m

Yield 6-8 Tatizas, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup shortening (I use Crisco)
1 (13 1/2 ounce) can coconut milk (Chaokoh is the only brand we use)

Steps:

  • Mix together flour, sugar, and baking powder.
  • Mix in shortening with a fork.
  • Add coconut milk and mix well using your hands.
  • If dough is too dry, add 1 Tbs of water at a time until dough is a little moist and holds together enough to make a ball.
  • From the big ball of dough make 6-8 mini dough balls.
  • Roll out dough ball on a floured board until thin.
  • Place rolled out dough in pan over medium heat (do not add oil or butter to pan!).
  • Use a fork to poke out any air bubbles.
  • Brown on both sides.
  • Refrigerate any left over dough in ziplock bag for 1 week.
