What can I use as a substitute for masa in a recipe that uses it for coating and then frying?!
Answers: Mix of 3/4 flour to 1/4 cornmeal should do it.
flour and vegetable oil
if its a substitute its not a recipe and it wont come out right . i use to argue with my ex wife about that cooking is fallowing the recipe thats why its a recipe right?so if it dont come out right you have youreself to blame.if there is a substitute it would say it on the recipie.im not trying to be a butthead im just saying if youre gonna fallow it fallow it.
if you have cornmeal and all purpose flour those 2 mixed together 1/2 n 1/2 season as you would it makes a perfect alternative to Masa. I use this mixture to coat catfish and other fishes for frying. even works on chicken
I had to look up the meaning of Masa before I was able to answer this question.
The description as I understand it, is somewhat like a tortilla, jewish blintz or kreplach, a chipati or even a chinese dumpling. All of these "things"as I will call them, can be used as holders for food fillings in different cultures. If you just want to wrap the filling with masa (corn dough, there are many other doughs that can be substituted with different ingredients.

Cut in butter that's been kept at room temperature or use soft margarine.
Stir milk lightly into the flour mixture with a wooden spoon and adjust amounts to make sure that you have a moist dumpling dough.
