Learn to make Salvadoran pupusas

Prepare the Masa by placing it in a bowl and massaging it together until it's clumped.

Wet your fingertips with water to help shape the Masa.

Shape the Masa into a flat disc, ensuring it's not too thick or thin.

If you see cracks in the Masa, it means it needs more moisture; if it sticks to your hands, it has too much moisture.

Take a small ball of filling (cheese) and press it into the center of the Masa disc.

Carefully fold the edges of the Masa over the filling, ensuring all seams touch to seal it like a dumpling.

Pat the filled Masa out gently to flatten it further.

Preheat your griddle and place the pupusa on it.

Cook the pupusa for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side until it has a good color and is cooked through.
