Frequently asked questions

How can I make the dough a little saltier?

You can add an extra pinch of salt or even a pinch of black pepper to give a salty touch and accentuate the flavor.

What should I do if the green corn is bitter?

Bitter is a natural flavor of sweet corn. If it is too bitter, you can remove it before cooking, or add a little sugar to balance the flavor.

What can I do if the dough is not homogeneous?

Check if the ingredients are well mixed and, if necessary, beat the dough a little more to ensure it is homogeneous.
