Instructions

  1. Melt butter in the skillet and pour into the mixing bowl of flour.
  2. Mix in the water until it's about the consistency of Play-Doh and it stops sticking to the walls.
  3. Line tortilla press with parchment paper.
  4. Form dough balls of ~1.25” diameter (38g)
  5. Squish dem balls.

Be sure to place the ball a little offset, closer to the top surface hinge, since the action of closing it will cause it to move toward the lever side.

  1. Cook on a ~300-350°F surface until the edges just start to curl, then flip.

The first-cooked side will start to look kinda spotty with white spots, like so:

When the second side releases and it can move on the surface with just a small amount of force (e.g. a nudge from the spatula), it's done!

  1. Store in a tortilla box until ready to serve.

Flour : Water ratio

Like with the Bread recipe, it seems the flour:water ratio should be about 1.6:1.

Tortilla Press

Flattens masa balls between two sheets of plastic. A heavy pan and some patience will do it, but not as evenly.
