Salvadoran Quesadilla

Don’t expect cheese and tortillas. Instead, think poundcake. Think party food. Think happy mornings, popping a few too many quesadillas in your mouth. In El Salvador they eat rich, buttery quesadillas in the morning with a big cup of coffee and I suggest you do the same. You’ll love the slight crunch of the sesame seeds in combination with the sweet/salty cake. I’m proud to say that this recipe was awarded First Place in food52‘s Gluten-Free Baking Competition. Best served with dulce de leche and a cloud of whipped cream.

1 cup rice flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 pinch salt

1 cup butter

1 cup sugar

3 eggs

1 cup sour cream

½ cup grated hard cheese, like cotija (parmesan can be substituted)

sesame seeds, to taste
