Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix the masa harina, baking powder and salt.
2. Add the oil and about 1 cup of water and stir. Add more water until the dough holds together in a ball without sticking to your hands.
3. Divide the dough into 4 pieces and pat each into a circle about 4-5 inches across and 1/2 inch thick.
4. Cook on a hot, dry skillet over medium-high heat for 1 1/2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned.
5. Heat the oil to 360-375°F. Add the gorditas and fry for about 2 minutes, until they rise to the surface. Turn and cook another 30 seconds.
6. Let them cool and drain on paper towels.
7. Split each gordita open along the side with a serrated knife, then stuff and serve right away.
