How To Make Pupusas de Queso | September 12, 2023

Annonce:

Imagine biting into a crisp exterior only to meet a soft, cheesy heart—yes, that’s a pupusa de queso for you. This culinary marvel hails from the rich landscapes of El Salvador and Honduras and has enamored taste buds for possibly two millennia.

Ingredients:

For the Masa Dough

2 cups masa harina
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups hot water

For the Inner Glory: The Filling

1 cup shredded Jack cheese
Oil for that perfect golden-brown cook

Instructions:

Prep Your Dough: Combine masa harina and salt in a mixing bowl. Introduce the hot water gradually, starting with 1 1/2 cups. Stir until you achieve a fluffy, moist dough. If it’s too dry, add more water. Let the dough rest for about 15 minutes under a cover.
Handy Tips: Moistening your hands with water prevents the dough from sticking and also helps hydrate any crumbly bits. Tear off a piece of dough, roughly the size of a golf ball (about 2 tablespoons).
