How Are Bollitos Made?
Making bollitos is straightforward and requires only a few ingredients:
Ingredients
- 1 cup pre-cooked cornflour e.g., Harina Pan
- ¾ cup water
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Mix the cornflour, water, and salt until a pliable dough forms.
- Shape the dough into small submarine shapes.
- Boil the shaped dough in water for about 15 minutes or until they float to the surface.
- Serve hot, optionally paired with toppings like butter, cheese, or Guasacaca (Venezuelan avocado sauce).
Notes
For a heartier option, try bollitos pelones, which involve filling the dough with seasoned ground beef or chicken and cooking them in a rich tomato sauce.
