How to make gorditas. Step 1: Mix together masa harina, water and salt to create a dough. Roll the dough into 16 little balls. At this point, heat a large skillet, griddle or comal over medium-high heat. Step 2: Lightly flatten a masa ball in between two sheets of plastic wrap using a tortilla press or a flat plan.
Heat a griddle pan on medium heat. Wait until pan is heated through and cook discs about 1 1/2 minutes to 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Serve gorditas de azucar, plain or with a topping of your choice and don't forget to pair it up with hot chocolate, coffee or milk.
Sugar gorditas are kind of a English muffin style biscuit or maybe something in between a muffin and say a mini pancake. They are perfectly spongy and sweet. These sweet gorditas in particular have a hint of vanilla and cinnamon. Otherwise known as Gorditas de Azucar de Canela (Sugar Gorditas with Cinnamon).
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.
