Mexicalli Puff Appetizers Recipe
1 cup all-purpose Flour
1/2 tsp. Salt
3/4 tsp. Chili Powder
3/4 cup yellow Cornmeal
Vegetable Oil
Combine together salt, chili powder, cornmeal and flour inside a bowl then gradually add in half a cup of water.
Mix slowly until the flour mix is moistened. Place dough onto a cloth-covered board that has been lightly dusted with flour and start kneading until it becomes smooth.
Divide the dough in 12 round balls then cover them with some plastic wrap then set it aside for about 30 mins. In a Dutch oven or deep fryer, heat the oil ( around 2-3 inches) to about 400′ F.
Roll individual balls out in paper-thin rounds then fry them until they turn golden brown and don’t forget to turn it 1 time for even cooking (around 1.5 mins. on 1 side).
Drain them well on some paper towels and serve. This dish is great served together with some Cheese soup or beer.
