Its obvious that only one came out well but I made these for my mother and she loved them! These are seriously great for any holiday and they are gluten-free so that also means the dough is easier to mix up. If you want them to be more like an Easter or Christmas-pocket/bun you could easily color the dough white with others or steam them. And these are a great, hand-held substitute for musubi for those that don't like rice. These are fried - but feel free to wrap them in banana leaves or something similar to steam or freeze them.
(Chorizo Pockets Dough Ingredients)
- 2 cups of Masa<
- 1/2 tsp of Salt
- 1/4 tsp of Cumin
- Water to mix
For this I just stuffed each one full of roasted (and chopped) garlic and some homemade soyrizo. If you've ever seen a pupusa being made, its exactly like that.
(Chorizo Pockets Dough Directions)
- Just take a handful of dough and slowly slap it back and forth in your hands until flat, fill long-ways, then fold the sides over, pinch and shape into oblong shapes.
- Let it dry for about 5 minutes then write your favorite short message on it. Then steam, bake or lightly fry. I fried mine for about 20 seconds on each side (the side with the message only got about 10 seconds or until everything was browned nicely).
- Bake them for a few minutes in the oven at 450 degrees. I simply served with some minced onions and some nice lettuce.
- Enjoy!
