Ingredients

  • 1poundvegetable shortening
  • 1 ¾cupswhite sugar
  • 4eggs
  • 2oranges, zested (Optional)
  • 1tablespoonvanilla extract
  • 2poundswhite masa harina (corn flour)
  • 3tablespoonsbaking powder
  • 1 ½teaspoonsground cinnamon (Optional)
  • 1teaspoonall-purpose flour

  • Directions

    Beat shortening and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Mix in eggs, orange zest, and vanilla.

    Combine corn flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and flour in another bowl; stir to combine. Add 1/2 of the flour mixture to the shortening mixture; mix on low speed until combined. Add remaining flour mixture and knead with your hands until dough is combined.

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

    Roll a small portion of dough into a thin log; pinch the ends together to form a small ring. Place onto an ungreased baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the dough, placing coricos as closely together on two baking sheets as you like; they do not spread.

    Bake in the preheated oven until coricos are golden brown all over, about 45 minutes, switching racks halfway through.

    Remove from the oven and transfer to wire racks to cool.
