Pupusas

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups gluten free Maseca corn masa flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 1/2 c. warm water
  • grated Cheese or other fillings
  • vegetable oil for brushing

Instructions
 

  • Combine gluten free Maseca corn masa flour, salt, oil and water. Allow to rest for 10 minutes to allow moisture to be fully absorbed. 
  • While dough is resting, oil and preheat griddle
  • After 15 minutes, turn dough out onto a non-stick surface, and knead until a ball of dough. Finally, form dough into 8 small balls. 
  • Flatten the dough, and lay on a non-stick surface. (I use a silicone mat.) Top the center with 1-2 tbsp of filling. Gently fold the edges in over the center, similar to filling a galette. Close any holes, and press gently with your hands to make a flat patty. 
  • Cook pupusas 3-4 minutes per side on your well-oiled griddle. Keep warm in a preheated oven (200*), on a cookie sheet, until all pupusas are made and ready to serve. 
  • Serve with a side of salsa and/or curtido. (Curtido recipe can be found on TheKitchn.)
