Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the ingredients.
Step 2
Sift the corn flour into a deep bowl. Add the salt and mix.
Step 3
Make a small well in the flour and pour in a little boiling water. It is very important not to pour in all the boiling water at once, because depending on the consistency of the dough, you may need less. Gradually knead a very pliable dough. The dough will not be completely smooth and will crumble in your hands. That is why it cannot be rolled out with a rolling pin.
Step 4
So the corn flatbreads need to be shaped by hand. The pieces should be small, oval or round, about 5 mm, about 1/4 inch, thick.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet. Place the prepared corn pieces into it. Fry the flatbreads over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until golden brown. Then turn them over and fry on the other side for about 5 more minutes.
Step 6
Transfer the finished corn flatbreads to a plate and serve. Enjoy your meal!
