South American
Cornmeal Snacks
Ingredients
Serve
6-8
3 1/3 cups/500 g finely
ground cornmeal
1 1/4 cups/150 g freshly
grated firm cheese (such as processed
Mozzarella)
1 tsp salt
2 cups/500 ml water
Method:
Preheat the
oven to 400°F/200°C/gas 6. Oil a baking sheet.
Mix the
cornmeal, cheese, salt and enough water in a
large bowl to make a soft dough.
Knead for 2-3
minutes until smooth. Cover the dough with a
kitchen cloth and let rise for 5 minutes. Brush
a griddle or cost-iron frying pan over medium
heat.
Cook the
dough in the frying pan for 3-4 minutes on each
side, or until the south American cornmeal bread
are soft inside but have formed a golden crust
on the outside. While cooking, keep separating
the south American cornmeal bread from the
griddle or pan, or they will stick.
Keep warm
while you cook the remaining dough. Serve warm.
