Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups Masarepa (* (pre cooked corn meal))
  • 2 ½ cups warm water
  • 1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, combine the Masarapa, water, and salt until fully combined. Pack the mixture together and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat a large castiron skillet with vegetable oil.
  • Measure out 1/4 cup-sized portions and roll into a ball with your hands, then gently press and shape them into discs that are about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Place the discs in the hot oil and allow them to cook over low heat until they begin to turn golden brown/black. Flip and repeat, adding additional oil as needed so they don't stick.
  • If you want to slice them in half, you'll want to bake them for about 10 minutes at 350F on a large baking sheet. Enjoy hot.
