Frequently Asked Questions
What are Mexican antojitos?
Antojitos are traditional Mexican snacks and small meals usually made from nixtamalised corn dough. Some of the best-known examples include gorditas, sopes, huaraches, tlacoyos and empanadas, all of which are popular in markets, festivals and street food stalls throughout Mexico.
What is Maseca Antojitos Corn Flour used for?
This flour has been specially developed for preparing fried Mexican antojitos such as gorditas, sopes, empanadas, tlacoyos and many other traditional recipes.
Why should I choose Maseca Antojitos instead of regular Maseca?
Although both are made from nixtamalised corn, Maseca Antojitos has a medium grind specially designed for gorditas, sopes, tlacoyos and other antojitos. The dough is stronger and holds its shape better, making it ideal for stuffed and fried recipes.
Can I use this flour to make tortillas?
It can be used for some tortilla-style recipes, but for traditional homemade corn tortillas we recommend Maseca White Corn Flour, which has been specifically developed for that purpose.
What does nixtamalised corn mean?
Nixtamalisation is an ancient process used in Mexico for thousands of years, where corn is cooked in an alkaline solution before being milled. This traditional technique improves the flavour and texture of the dough while increasing the availability of certain nutrients, making it essential to authentic Mexican cuisine.
Where can I buy Maseca Antojitos Corn Flour online in Portugal?
