Description
I've heard the hype for years, that homemade corn tortillas are so much better than store-bought. So this weekend I put it to the test .... the difference is unbelievable.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Masa Harina
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup hot water
Instructions
- Whisk masa and salt together in a large bowl. Add water and mix until a smooth, soft dough ball forms
- Knead for a few minutes and then cover with a damp towel
- Heat a skillet or griddle to medium-high heat
- Pinch a walnut-sized piece of dough (1 oz or 28g) and form into a ball
- Lay parchment or a cut ziplock bag onto your work surface or tortilla press and place ball in center
- Cover with more parchment (or ziplock) and gently press into a 5" to 6" round tortilla
- Carefully remove paper or plastic and gently lay the tortilla in the pan
- Flip tortilla after 30-45 seconds
