Mix the wet ingredients

• In a bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, eggs, vanilla extract and melted butter.
• Whisk until smooth and well blended.

Make the dough

• Add the flour, baking powder and a sprinkle of salt.
• Mix and knead until a soft, uniform dough forms.

Rest the dough

• Cover the dough and let it rest so it firms up slightly.

Shape the gorditas

• Divide the dough into portions and roll them into small discs.

Cook the gorditas

• Cook the discs in a hot pan over medium heat.
• Flip once the base is golden and the surface looks set, then cook the other side.

Serve

• Serve warm, plain or with nata or extra lechera on top.
