Mix with your hands until a soft, pliable dough forms, adding a little more water if it feels too dry.

3
Cover the masa dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

4
While the masa rests, prepare the salsa by placing the tomatillos, serrano peppers, and garlic in a small saucepan.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
5
Cover with water and bring to a boil; cook for about 10 minutes until the tomatillos are soft and their color changes to a dull green.

Blend until smooth, then set aside.

Divide the masa dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball.

While the masa cakes are still warm, use your fingers to create a small rim around the edge and a slight indentation in the center of each one.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
