Or cover the bowl of corn balls with a damp kitchen terry towel. That's what I, my mom, and abuelita do. Also, If you are making them from scratch, they should 'puff' in the cooking process. I don't see a 'puffed' tortilla photo. Cook on one side just enough to seal it... maybe 20-30 seconds. Then flip it over cook until the other side is well done. Then flip it back over to cook the first side... which was only cooked for 30 seconds... to finalize the cooking. Three flips total. You should then see the entire tortilla grow to puff. You can coax it along with a spatula by pressing gently on the puff, to push the air across, when it starts to rise. Getting the 'puff' to happen makes for tortillas which are more tender. The thickness of what you are cooking and method you are using more closely resembles corn cakes for Gorditas. For tortillas, try using smaller corn balls. One more tip: Cutting up a produce plastic bag, rather than using plastic wrap, for the tortilla press works a bit easier in the process. voodoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07762210502074638063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2931721063254423826.post-81133949370979719342016-03-20T11:10:37.766-07:002016-03-20T11:10:37.766-07:00Great GMO free alternative: Bob's Red Mill Flo...Great GMO free alternative: Bob's Red Mill Flour Corn Masa Harina.
