*Tortillas

from Is This a Cookbook?: Adventures in the Kitchen (page 158)by Heston Blumenthal.

I couldn’t source masa harina so I substituted ‘Pan’ pre-cooked white corn meal enriched. The difference apparently is that masa harina has been soaked in lime water in a process called nixtamalization.

I had bought a tortilla press at Vinnies a few weeks ago and was eager to try it out. (Apparently they are not so good with wheat flour, but I have not tried this).

First attempt at Tortillas. Basically equally weight flour and water and a pinch of salt.

Cooked on the non stick crepe pan. The result was excellent!
