Estimated Reading Time: 4 mins1. 1. __Make the corn masa__: In a large bowl, whisk together *masa harina*, salt, and baking powder. Use your hands to incorporate the lard into the dry ingredients. Add 1 cup of warm water and mix using a spatula. Continue adding warm water little by little until the dough just starts to come together. Transfer dough to a clean work surface and continue adding warm water as needed, kneading the dough by hand. Test the consistency by breaking off a small ball of dough and pressing it into your hand. The dough should be cohesive, but not so wet that it sticks to your hand (you should be able to easily peel the dough back from your hand). If the dough is too crumbly, continue adding warm water. If it’s too sticky, add a little *masa harina*. Let the dough rest, covered with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, about 30 minutes.
2. 2. __Press the gorditas__: Pull off a golfball-size dough ball. Using a tortilla press or baking dish, press tortillas between two sheets of plastic to ¼ inch–thick patties. (Alternatively, use wet hands to hand-press dough.) Transfer patties to a baking dish covered with a clean kitchen towel.
3. 3. __Toast the gorditas__: In a dry pan or comal, toast the gorditas over medium-high heat until crispy on the outside with some brown spots, about 1–2 minutes per side. Transfer the gorditas to a plate or baking sheet.
4. 4. __Shallow-fry the gorditas__: Keeping the pan over medium-high heat, add enough lard to the pan to coat fully. (Oil should pool up around the sides of the pan when swirled.) Shallow-fry the gorditas in oil until they puff up, about 1–2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.

Total Time: 25 minsCategory: Main CourseCalories: 154 per serving1. In a medium size bowl mix the corn-flour and salt. Slowly add the water and knead to form a uniform mixture. If the dough feels dry, add more water, little by little, spoon by spoon, until the dough is soft and manageable, like play dough. It doesn't have to be sticky. Depending on the humidity of your local city, you will need to add about 2 more tablespoons of water to the dough, and also keep a small bowl with water to moist the dough as needed. This dough tends to dry, so cover with a moist kitchen napkin while you make the gorditas.
2. Divide the dough into 9 balls and cover with a moistened kitchen towel or paper towel. Heat the griddle to medium high. It has to be hot when you place the gorditas, in order to avoid having them stick.
3. Place one plastic square on your tortilla press and then one ball of dough, top with the other plastic square, and gently press down the tortilla press to form the gordita. It should be about 4 inches in diameter. If using the glass baking dish, place one plastic square on your working surface, add the ball of dough, cover with the other plastic square and gently press with the glass dish, making an even pressure to form the gordita disc.
4. Remove the top plastic. Pick up the gordita, holding with the plastic at the bottom. Gently flip the tortilla onto the palm of your hand. Then, place on the hot griddle to cook.
