- Whisk together masa harina, flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
- Stir in corn and cheese.
- Add 1/4 cup water at a time, stirring after each addition until mixture holds together. (Usually takes approximately 1 cup total.)
- Heat 1/4 c oil in fry pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
