Description
Maseca Amarillo is a traditional Mexican yellow corn masa flour, specially prepared for making authentic tortillas, tamales and a wide variety of Latin American dishes. Made from yellow maize that has undergone nixtamalisation, a traditional process where corn is cooked and steeped in an alkaline solution before being dried and ground, it produces a soft, workable dough with the distinctive flavour and texture of traditional corn masa.
The yellow corn gives the finished dishes a warm golden colour, gentle corn sweetness and characteristic maize flavour. Unlike ordinary cornflour or maize meal, Maseca Amarillo is designed to form a pliable dough simply by adding water, making it ideal for preparing fresh tortillas without the time-consuming process of preparing whole corn from scratch.
Versatile and easy to use, Maseca Amarillo is suitable for making Mexican corn tortillas, tamales, gorditas, sopes, pupusas and other traditional recipes. Whether preparing soft tortillas for tacos, thick gorditas filled with savoury ingredients or homemade tamales, this instant masa flour brings traditional Mexican cooking into the home kitchen.
How to Use: Gradually mix Maseca Amarillo with water and a little salt until a soft, smooth dough forms. Allow to rest briefly before shaping. For tortillas, press into thin rounds and cook on a hot, dry griddle or frying pan until lightly toasted on both sides. Adjust the water according to your chosen recipe.
