oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

Vegetable oil is often less expensive.

Add an infusion of tomatillo husks with anise to cool.

Make a small hole in 1 kilo of flour and add 3 eggs, a little baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of sugar, along with pork fat.

Thoroughly mix the ingredients in the center of the flour hole.

Gradually add the infusion while mixing to incorporate the flour until a manageable dough forms.

Check the dough; when it does not stick, it's ready.

Make a cross in the dough for good luck.

Flour the rolling pin and roll out the dough, extending it with fingers like pizza.

Heat oil until very hot; check by ensuring bubbles form immediately when the dough touches the oil.

Serve with Saniz evaporated agave syrup.
