Share:
Ingredients
- 4 cups maize flour (masa harina)
- a pinch of salt
- 3 cups water (warm)
- 2 cups grated cheese (ideally quesillo or mozzarella)
- vegetable oil
Instructions
- Combine maize flour, salt and 2½ cups (600ml) water in a mixing bowl.
- Knead to form a smooth wet paste with the consistency of playdough.
- If the mixture is too dry, add the remaining water, a tablespoon at a time. If the mixture is too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
- Cover the bowl and let stand for 10 minutes.
- With lightly oiled hands, form the dough into 8 to 10 balls.
- Form small patties. Place a tablespoon of cheese and wrap the dough around the filling to seal.
- Ensure that the filling does not leak, pat the dough between your hands to form a disk about ¼-inch (5mm) thick. Repeat with the remaining patties.
- Heat a lightly oiled frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook pupusas for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
