Gorditas de Nata are small, sweet, and rich cakes made from ‘nata’, a thick cream that forms on top of boiling milk. The cream is mixed with flour, sugar, and baking powder to create a dough that is then cooked on a griddle until golden brown. Gorditas de Nata are typically eaten for breakfast or as a snack, often accompanied by a cup of coffee or hot chocolate. They are popular throughout Mexico, but especially so in the central regions.
