Boil 1/2 cup of water with a piece of cinnamon, star anise, and clove to create an infusion.

After 6 minutes, strain the infusion and set aside to cool.

In a bowl, combine 500 grams of masa de maíz nixtamalizado and 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour.

Add the grated piloncillo, pinch of ground cinnamon, pinch of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the dry ingredients.

Gradually add the cooled infusion to the dry mixture, mixing with hands until a dough forms that is not sticky.

Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.

Divide the dough into balls of approximately 25 grams each.

Flatten the balls into tortillas using a tortilla press or by hand.

Heat enough vegetable oil in a pan for deep frying.

Once the oil is hot, reduce the heat to medium-low and fry the gorditas, adding oil on top to help them puff up.

Fry for about 10 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove from oil and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
