Homemade Gorditas Preparation

You might try a recipe my mother gave me from Arizona for homemade gorditas. They”re something between a cornmeal pancake and a biscuit and very easy. The only hard part is finding the masa preparida. If you”ve got a tortilleria anywhere, they can sell you the stuff otherwise you”ll probably have to find a good Hispanic grocery. Beat it all together, shape into patties no more than a 1/2 thick, and fry in oil until golden on both sides. Drain. Traditionally, you”d dip them in chile sauce and top with cheese and/or the usual taco accompaniments, but they”re also good wtih sugar and about anything else you can think of. For a chile touch, you might chop your favorite chiles into the batter or dust them with chile powder (I plan to try ground chipoltes).
