Recipes from Honduras |
Corn Tortillas
Country: HondurasCourse: Side
Makes: 12 to 18 tortillas
Ingredients:
- 2 cups masa flour (such as MASECA)
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1/8 tsp salt
Directions:
- Mix the masa flour with the salt and water. The dough should be smooth and not sticky, but it shouldn't be too dry either.
- Now separate the dough into golfball sized balls.
- Flatten each ball with a tortilla press or with a rolling pin. The tortillas should be pretty thin, no more than maybe a millimeter.
- Heat up a large frying pan over high heat.
- Transfer the flattened dough to the pan (don't use any oil, it should just be a dry pan). Cook on one side until the tortilla starts to curl around the edges, then flip. It should have some golden spots on the cooked side.
- Cook on the other side until you get some more golden spots, then transfer to a warm plate. Keep between damp paper towels until ready to serve.
