Masa Pancake

Cultural Context

Originating from Mexico, masa pancakes (or masa cakes) are made from masa harina, a corn flour that is a staple in Mexican cuisine. Traditionally enjoyed at breakfast, these pancakes reflect the culinary heritage of indigenous peoples who have long utilized corn in their diets. Today, they are embraced in various forms across Latin America and have found popularity in fusion cuisine, appealing to those seeking gluten-free options.
