This recipe holds a special place in my heart as it brings back cherished memories of my grandmother and mother. They used to prepare these gorditas during the holidays or when the weather was chilly, using an outdoor oven, much like the one we used to cook our Thanksgiving turkey this year. Alternatively, as shown in the video, one can use a griddle or skillet.
With the given amount of ingredients, I made around 40 gorditas. For a larger crowd, use the exact amounts or halve them for a smaller batch.
Meet my mom, who is now living with us due to her dementia.
8-10 Lbs Or Prepared Masa
One Lb of Queso Panela
One Lb of Queso Fresco
16 oz of Jocoque or Crema Mexicana
2 Cups of Sugar
2-3 Tbsp Baking Soda and Baking Powder
1-2 Tbsp Ground Cinnamon
You can also make smaller batches using a stand-up mixer.
