Ingredients
- 1 cup masa harina
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 cup masa harina, 1/4 cup flour, and 1/2 tsp salt. Gradually pour in 1 cup warm water, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- 2
Knead the dough in the bowl for 2 minutes until smooth; it should be pliable and not sticky. If too dry, add water 1 tbsp at a time; if too wet, add a little flour.
- 3
Divide the dough into 8 equal balls. Flatten each ball between your palms into a 1/2-inch thick patty, about 3 inches wide.
- 4
Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the patties in a single layer, working in batches if needed.
- 5
Cook until the bottoms are golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden, another 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
