Notes

Masa harina is

available from some

delis, Mexican and

gourmet food stores.

The yellow cornflour

weighs 135g per cup

while the blue cornflour

weighs 145g per

cup. When rolling

out tortillas, keep

remaining dough

covered to prevent

drying out. When the

tortillas are hand−

rolled, they will be

rough around the edges

compared to those

made in a tortilla press.

If the dough feels dry

as you are rolling into

balls, use wet hands

to add moisture.

“A tortilla press is made

from cast iron, which

flattens the dough into a

disc. Unless you make a lot

of tortilla or flatbread, a

rolling pin will do the trick.”
