About

An almojábana is a small, bun-shaped bread having a tart flavor.

The etymology is arguably Arabic in origin. "Al" is used as the article, "mo" as in doer of action, "jabana" as in cheesy derived from habn which means cheese in Arabic (almojabana means the cheesy one).

Ingredients

Almojábanas are made with masarepa or pre-cooked white cornmeal, cottage cheese, butter, baking powder, salt, eggs and milk.
