It is the sweet outlier of the gordita family: a soft, faintly sweet round enriched with *nata*, the thick clotted cream skimmed off scalded milk. There is no savory filling, no pocket split for *machaca* or beans. The *nata* is folded into the dough itself, so the richness is baked in rather than tucked in. What defines it is that the dough and the cream are inseparable. The *nata* gives the round its tender, almost cakey crumb and a milky sweetness; the wheat or corn base gives it body and a gentle griddled chew. Pull the cream out and you have a plain sweet bread; leave it in and you have something that eats like a cross between a pancake and a sweet roll, sold warm off a comal or a cart for a few pesos. The make is about restraint. *Nata* is precious, skimmed slowly from the top of boiled milk, and it carries fat and a delicate dairy flavor that scorches if mishandled. It is mixed into a dough sweetened lightly with sugar, sometimes with a little cinnamon, and worked just enough to stay tender. The round is pressed thick and cooked on a *comal* over moderate heat so the outside sets and freckles while the inside stays soft and slightly moist. A good one is springy, lightly sweet, and rich without being greasy, with the cream legible as a flavor rather than buried under sugar. A sloppy one is dense and dry from overworked dough or a griddle run too hot, or cloying because sugar was used to mask thin or absent *nata*. The right one needs nothing on it; it is eaten plain, often with coffee or *atole*. This is the branch of the family that leaves the sandwich behind entirely, so its savory relatives part ways here. The griddled wheat *gordita de harina*, soft and built to clamp around a filling, deserves its own article rather than being crowded in here. The oven-baked *gordita de horno*, dry and biscuit-firm and split for *picadillo* or beans, deserves its own article rather than being crowded in here. The brittle nixtamalized-corn gordita of central Mexico, pocketed and stuffed savory, deserves its own article rather than being crowded in here. --- ## More from this family Other [Los Antojitos de Masa](https://onesandwich.com/tag/los-antojitos-de-masa/) sandwiches in Mexico: - [Chalupa](https://onesandwich.com/chalupa/) - [Gordita de Chicharr贸n](https://onesandwich.com/gordita-de-chicharron/) - [Gordita de Harina](https://onesandwich.com/gordita-de-harina/) - [Gordita de Horno](https://onesandwich.com/gordita-de-horno/) - [Gordita](https://onesandwich.com/gordita/) - [Huarache con Bistec](https://onesandwich.com/huarache-con-bistec/) - [Huarache con Suadero](https://onesandwich.com/huarache-con-suadero/) - [Huarache](https://onesandwich.com/huarache/) [See all Los Antojitos de Masa sandwiches 鈫抅(https://onesandwich.com/tag/los-antojitos-de-masa/)
