1 cup (240mL) chicken or vegetable stock*
2/3 cup (100g) white grits, ground as finely as possible, or white cornmeal
1 cup (240mL) masa harina
1/3 cup (80g) whole milk yogurt cheese*
1 tsp (4g) baking powder
1/2 - 1 tsp (3–6g) salt
To make yogurt cheese, pour plain yogurt into a sieve lined with cheese cloth. Set over a bowl and let drain for 4 hours.
When the cheese is ready, bring stock to a simmer, then pour over grits in a bowl and allow to soften for about 15 minutes.
Mix in masa harina; set aside until cool. In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, or with an electric hand mixer, combine half the masa mixture and yogurt, beating for three minutes. Add remaining masa and mix another 3 minutes, to the consistency of cake batter. Add baking powder and salt to taste.
* Allergy notes: If you are allergic to soy, be sure the broth you choose is soy-free, as broths frequently contain hydrolized vegetable protein from soy. The egg protein lysozyme is an unlabeled additive in some cheeses. People allergic to eggs should eliminate any cheese in this recipe.
