Gorditas de horno

Method

1. 1 Beat the pork fat with the ground palm sugar for 8 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
2. 2 Whipping the lard first creates a light and airy texture; mixing it directly into the flour will make the cake firm like a cookie.
3. 3 Mix the masaf powder with the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon, then add it to the mixture of fat and eggs.
4. 4 Knead gently for 4 minutes until the dough forms a cohesive mass, then press it into a disc 1.5 cm thick.
5. 5 Place them on a paper-lined tray and make a shallow cross-shaped incision on the surface.
6. 6 Bake at 180 degrees for 25 minutes, or until the cake cracks along the grooves and the surface is golden brown.
