Combine 2 cups of corn flour, 1 cup and 1/2 sugar, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder in a mixing bowl.

Add 4 ounces of margarine and mix until crumbly.

In a separate bowl, add 4 egg yolks and mix with sugar and margarine until creamy, about 5 minutes.

Add grated cheese to the mixture and stir.

Incorporate 1 cup of crema salvadoreña and mix until well combined.

Add 1 cup of whole milk and mix until smooth.

Gradually add 1 cup of wheat flour and 1 cup of rice flour, mixing until well combined.

Whip the 4 egg whites until stiff peaks form and fold them into the batter for added fluffiness.

Grease the baking molds with butter and a little flour.

Pour the batter into the molds, filling them halfway to allow for rising.

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for decoration.

Tap the molds to release any air bubbles before baking.

Bake in the oven until golden brown, checking for doneness by the color and texture.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
