Cooking Recipe Corn Tortillas (Aha)
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add 1 1/2 T margarine.
Stir in cornmeal quickly, then immediately lower heat and cover pan.
Let cornmeal cook over very low heat for 5 minutes. Stir in
remaining margarine and set aside to cool.
Mix flour and salt. Stir in cooled cornmeal and knead, adding water
or more flour if necessary to form a soft dough. Pinch off twelve
pices and roll into 2-inch balls.
Flatten each ball between palms or against a board, making a flat
circle. Roll with rolling pin to 6-7 inches. Keep turning the circle
to keep it round, and sprinkle board and pin with cornmeal as needed
to prevent sticking.
Cook on a hot ungreased griddle for 1 1/2 minutes on each side, or
until flecked with dark spots.
Line a basket or bowl with a large cloth. Stack tortillas in bowl
and keep covered with cloth.
They may be made up to a day in advance. Heating for a few seconds
on each side makes them soft and pliable for handling again. Heat
them on a griddle or directly over a medium gas flame.
