Directions

In a large bowl, combine the masa harina, salt and baking powder.
Dissolve the achiote paste in ¼ cup of water. Add the achiote mixture and the additional 1 ¼ c water to the masa harina.
Knead the dough for about two minutes. If it appears too crumbly, add water one tablespoon at a time.
Divide the dough into balls using approximately 1-2 tablespoons of dough for each. Flatten using a tortilla press. If you don't have a tortilla press, you can place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and either roll out with a rolling pin or press down with something heavy.
Heat approximately 1 inch of vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook each salbute for about 1 munute on each side or until golden. Make sure not to let them get too crispy or they'll be tough. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
