Pupusas are King of Salvadoran Street Food
I always ask my kids to help me in the kitchen but when Pupusas are on the menu, they all volunteer! I can’t say this recipe is 100 percent authentic but it’s one of those fun, hands-on foods that provide an opportunity to teach them about other cultures, through food. And you absolutely have to make curtido and salsa roja to serve with pupusas!How to Make Pupusas
Make dough: Add masa harina (corn flour) and salt to a large mixing bowl then add the warm water, little by little, while mixing the dough with your hand until you get the consistency of a soft play dough. Add butter and chicken bouillon if you'd like, for extra flavor. Scoop dough into golf-ball-size portions, dipping your hands in an oil and water mixture as needed if the masa is sticking to your hands.
