Almojábana

Almojábana is a type of bread made with cuajada cheese and corn flour.

The etymology stems from Andalusī Arabic and that in turn from classical Arabic المُجَٰبَّنة "almuǧábbana" (made of cheese), the measure II passive participle of the root ج-ب-ن, the same root as جُبْن "jubn" (cheese).

[3] Almojábanas are made with masarepa or pre-cooked white cornmeal, cottage cheese, butter, baking powder, salt, eggs, and milk.

In Puerto Rico almojábanas are small fried balls eaten in the northwest part of the island.

[4] Spanish almojábanas do not use cheese; they are made with wheat flour, olive oil, salt, eggs, and honey or sugar or both.
