About Bollo de Mantequilla
FoodMediaPty presents bollo de mantequilla as a traditional Chorrera preparation for Panama's national celebrations. Hulled maize is cooked, rested overnight in its cooking water and ground before butter and salt are kneaded into the dough.
The maize provides the body of the bollo, while butter enriches its flavour. The seasoning is deliberately simple, with the source describing the bollos as an accompaniment to savoury foods.
Each portion is enclosed in a leaf wrapper called a penca and tied closed. The wrapped bollos are boiled again and rested briefly before opening.
