Preparation:
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. To cook this Mexican dessert recipe: ***Be careful to flip slowly and with both hands because this dough is crumbly. Once the 15 minutes are up, get the dough out and roll it out on a non-stick mat. Use a wide-mouth Mason jar or something similar to that size to cut out 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! Makes about a dozen gorditas.
