Notes
- If you don’t have time to roll out the dough, you can just flatten it with a rolling pin.
- Make sure not to overwork the dough or it will become tough.
- Make sure to brush the gorditas with the egg mixture before baking for a golden brown color.
- You can also add other spices like nutmeg or allspice to the gorditas for extra flavor.
- For a sweeter version, you can sprinkle sugar on top of each gordita before baking.
