MASA DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the masa harina, salt, and water to make a soft, moist dough. Add the oil and salt. Mix very well with your hands and form into small balls about the size of a large cherry. Make an indentation with your finger in each ball so that it resembles a small fat bowl. Put the dumplings on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. The dumplings are ready to use.
