These are sublime, I learned to make these as I could not find any in Alabama which were authentic tasting. Another good way to use leftover Corn Tamale flour.
Gordita Recipe
2 cups Maseca Corn Flour
1/4 cup Flour or GF Flour
1/4 t sea salt
2 cups water
Mix all dry ingredients well, make a well in the center of the corn flour. Add the water all at once. Mix well, Knead for 1 to 2 minutes. Separate into two large masses of dough, then separate each large mass of dough into 4 additional balls. Place balls of dough into the same bowl and place cling wrap on top of the bowl and form each into a pancake with your hands. This "pancake" will be about the size of a DVD. Place on a hot griddle, add a little PAM to brown each side, heat each side for 4 minutes and turn around making sure to cook and brown the other side.
Run a sharp knife along the edge of the Gorditas, and make a deep slit into the Gordita.
Fill with sauteed vegetables, beans or meat and shredded lettuce as well as a little fresh Pico de Gallo or Fresh Salsa.
"EXPLORING MEXICAN CUISINE: "Abuelita's Kitchen" began as a short cookbook based on my grandmother’s Mexicanfamily recipes; many are over 100 years old. The recipes and ingredients have been modified to be healthy and accessible to the modern American kitchen. Both of my cookbooks are available on Amazon.com, third cookbook to be released shortly, based on baking. I created this blog to describe/depict how to prepare mexican dishes, It has expanded into covering all types of hispanic dishes.
