Gorditas de Azucar

This recipe is easy to make. It takes about 5 minutes to mix the ingredients, 15 minutes for the dough to rest in the fridge, about 15 minutes to cook a dozen and 5 minutes to cool. You can look at having a fantastically delicious dessert in 30 minutes (if you count the 15 minutes that the dough is resting in the fridge).

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup flour – you can also do half regular flour and half pancake mix I use gluten free flour. To make your own, go here.
  • 1 sprinkle of salt I use Himalayan salt
  • 1 dash of aluminum-free baking powder
  • 2-3 dashes of organic ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 stick of butter room temp
  • 1/5 cup sugar I use organic coconut sugar
  • 1/8 tsp natural vanilla extract you can also use almond or coconut extract if you prefer
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/8 cup water or milk I use my homemade almond milk recipe

Instructions
 

  • Mix all of the dry ingredients in a bowl and all the wet ingredients in another mixing bowl. Now mix them together until they are completely incorporated. The dough will be a bit stiff and borderline crumbly, almost like the feel of play dough.
  • Once the dough is completely mixed and there is no more powder in the bowl, put the bowl in the fridge and set a timer for 15 minutes. Let it rest. This is the perfect time for you to start getting your fixings out and ready. We like our organic raspberry preserves, grassfed butter and a yummy cup of low-acidity coffee.
  • Once the 15 minutes are up, get the dough out and roll it out on a stick-free mat.
  • Use a wide mouth mason jar or something similar to that size to cut some circles.
  • Place those on a warm griddle.
  • Then knead the dough, roll it out and cut some more.
  • CAREFULLY flip the gorditas that are on the griddle.
  • Keep cutting more gorditas out of the dough until you run out of dough.
  • The gorditas will get a few darker spots and that is how you know they are ready.
  • Cool for a few minutes. Meanwhile, get your favorite drink ready.
  • Use your favorite additions to put on top of the gorditas. You can use raw honey or butter alone or butter and fruit preserves, jelly, etc.
  • Enjoy!
