Chochoyones

1 Cup Masa
1/4 Cup Lard
1 Teaspoon Salt
4 Tablespoon Cold water -; (to 5 tbspns)

Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil. In a mixing bowl, combine the
masa, lard and salt. Mix until the mixture resembles a coarse crumb-like
mixture. Stir in enough water to form a soft dough. Form the dough into
small balls, about 1 tablespoon each. Lightly press your thumb in the center
of each ball. Add the dumplings to the water and cook until the dumplings
float to the surface, about 4 minutes. Continue to cook for 2 minutes.
Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt. This recipe yields about
1 1/2 dozen.
