Corn tortilla recipe

Mix the salt, masa harina and half of the water together to form a dough

Add more water as required - you are looking for a stiff, pliable dough

This can be done in a food processor or even better, use a breadmaker on dough setting. The Panasonic SD 253 and similar models have a 45 minute pizza dough setting that is perfect for tortilla dough.

Rest for at least 1 hour then shape into 10 equal sized balls.

Using a tortilla press or rolling pin, place a ball of dough between two non-stick sheets (Bake-O-Glideor similar) and press into shape

Heat a frying pan to a medium high temperature (but with no oil).

Cook each tortilla on one side for 15 seconds.

Turn and cook for 45 seconds.

Turn again and cook for a further 15 seconds.

They should have brown speckles.
