Coques de dacsa

Coques de dacsa are traditional Spanish pancakes or small flatbreads that are similar to Mexican tortillas. They originate from Valencia and are usually made with a combination of wheat flour, cornflour, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. The olive oil and salt are mixed in water and brought to a boil. The pan is taken off the heat and both types of flour are mixed in to create the dough. The hot dough is kneaded and rolled into thin rounds, and the flatbreads are then fried in a skillet over a bit of oil on both sides. Once done, coques de dasca are typically filled with a combination of tuna, hard-boiled eggs, anchovies, and tomato sauce, if desired.
