a small mixing bowl, combine the masa and 1/2 cup of the flour. Season with  
Essence. Fold the egg whites into the masa mixture and add the milk, 1/4 cup  
at a time, mixing thoroughly between additions, until all the milk is  
incorporated and the mixture is smooth. In a shallow dish, add the remaining

seeds. Spoon a quarter of the duck confit mixture into each pepper through
