Ingredients
Instructions
Add the masa and salt to a large bowl and make a well in the centre.
Mix the baking powder into the hot water and pour into the centre of the masa.
Using a spoon, fold the masa into the water, once it begins to combine, knead with your hands until a firm malleable dough is produced.
Divide the dough into 12 balls, dust the work surface with cornmeal and roll each one out to about the size of a fried egg, leaving them quite thick.
Heat a large frying pan and add a few glugs of oil
Fill the pan with as many gorditas as will fit and fry for 3 minutes a side, turning once. They are ready to eat once they have puffed up a little.
