PUPUSAS: National Dish from El Salvador

4 c. masa harina
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
4 tbsp. shortening (not liquid oil)
1 1/2 c. warm water (approximately)
1/2 lb. shredded Muenster cheese

Combine dry ingredients, cut shortening into dry ingredients with pastry blender; add warm water a few drops at a time and work dough with hands until manageable. Knead dough 15-20 times then allow to stand for 10 minutes.

Form dough into balls the size of an egg; roll out one at a time until they are 6 inches in diameter. Add some of the cheese on top then put another layer of the tortilla. Place on a hot ungreased skillet (one at a time). Cook 2 minutes on each side until done. Serve with cabbage and shredded carrots on top.

everyone knows its las "pupusas"
they would be made out of rice flour or corn flour, both are good depends on your own tastes, they are like tortillas stuffed with diferent types of fillings inside, very delicious, they can be filled with grated white salvadorean cheese or mozarella if u cant find salvadorean or any hard white cheese, with refried beans, with porkrines or a combination of all. they are usually acompanied by salsa(tomato and other spices and herbs) and or curtido which is finely choped cabbage, carrots, some vinegar and some pieces of beets for color and best of all u eat them with your hands, how special is that anyone can eat with a fork but inly u can eat from your hands huh... enjoy and good luck kool proyect... there are more national dishes but this one is the supreme one September is national pupusa month in el salvador

Pupusas of course, and buy them donÂ´t bother cooking a pupusa, itÂ´s difficult to shape that circles of dough if you donÂ´t have any experience.

Pupusas, why don't you just buy one instead of cooking it.

There are a few pupusas, nacatamales, enchiladas but i recomend an easy one baleadas. a flour tortilla spread fried beans and and some sour cream or grated cheese and fold theyre deelish. google the word baleadas for the recipe.

I believe either rice and beans, with chicken if you're wealthy enough to buy chicken. With corn tortillas.

Or chicken with molÃ© sauce. You get the recipe by using google; can you do that, young lady? Don't use Hershey's but get the bitter dark chocolate to make your molÃ© sauce.

I wish you "Buena suerte!" Good luck!

Y "Que aproveche!" May you enjoy the food!
