What to get ready

  • Photograph of Flour Flour 8.5 oz
  • Photograph of Palm sugar Palm sugar 9.9 oz
  • Photograph of Pork fat Pork fat 9.9 oz
  • Photograph of Baking powder Baking powder 0.7 oz

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.

With an appliance

    Replace step 6: spray the corn tortillas with oil, fry at 195 degrees for 16 minutes, and flip at minute 8; the scored lines expand faster, layer and divide into batches if needed.
