Basic Fresh Masa

1. 1

   Place the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer and whip until fluffy, about 2 minutes.

2. 2

   Add one-third of the fresh masa alternating with one-third of the stock, then add the salt.

3. 3

   Beat until well mixed, adding more stock if needed, turn the mixer to high, and beat for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the dough resembles spackling paste.

4. 4

   Take a small piece (about 1/2 teaspoon) of the dough and drop it into a cup of cold water.

5. 5

   If it floats, it is ready; if it sinks, whip for another minute and test it again.

6. 6

   Repeat this process until the masa floats.
