Gorditas de Nata

in Mexico City

These soft griddled cream breads are one of the sweetest everyday snacks around Mexico City, lightly caramelized on the outside and best eaten warm from the bag.

Did you know?

The nata in the name refers to the rich milk cream traditionally folded into the dough, which gives these gorditas their tender, almost cake-like bite.
