Instructions
- Mix the ingredients together to form a moist dough which keeps its shape when moulded. If necessary add extra water a tbsp at a time to achieve the right consistency.
- Take a piece of dough the size of a golf ball or slightly bigger. Roll in your hands until reasonably round.
- Place in the middle of a piece of greaseproof paper. Lay a second sheet of greaseproof paper on top. Take a plate and press down on the dough until the rim on the bottom of the plate wont let you press any further.
- Take a chopping board and press on the dough until it is about 15 cm (6") in diameter.
- Peel off the top layer of paper and put the tortilla on a hot pan with the paper still attached and uppermost.
- Gently press the tortilla down, especially at the edges.
- After about 15 seconds carefully peel the paper off the tortilla. Continue cooking until the total time for the first side is about a minute.
- Turn the tortilla over and cook for a further 30 seconds. Transfer to a cloth and allow to cool.
Notes
With care you can use the same pieces of greaseproof paper to make all 6 tortillas. Use these to make tacos by shaping them when they are warm, and you can even make your own tortilla chips from these tortillas!
