Equipment

small or medium saucepan

Ingredients

2 cups water
2/3 cup masa white or blue preferred
⅛ teaspoon quality salt

Instructions

Whisk masa and water: In a small to medium saucepan with a lid, whisk together water and masa harina until masa is wetted.
Heat to first bubble: Heat over medium-high, whisking continuously. As soon as the mixture begins to bubble, reduce the heat to medium or medium-low.
Stir and thicken: Continue stirring for 1 minute , letting the mixture bubble and thicken.
Rest covered: Remove from heat, cover with the lid, and let rest for 10 minutes — the steam will finish the cooking and deepen the texture.
Serve: Serve warm, with your toppings of choice.
