Stop and Shop also sells corn flour for
making Pâte made by Goya. It is called "Fine Corn
Meal," and is in the "Spanish Food" isle. If you
try to use plain corn meal, it will be too grainy because it
isn't ground as fine as corn flour. If your Stop and Shop doesn't
carry "Fine Corn Meal" you can call your local Mexican
restaurant who probably buys it in large quantities from a
distributor and would probably sell you a few pounds if you ask
nicely. Corn Flour called "Masaca for Tortillas, Tamales,
Enchiladas, Pupusas, Atoles etc." is sold in Hispanic
grocery stores. It comes in a 2 Kg bag and is made by Azteca
