Plain tortillas

Cooking : time less than 10 mins

Ingredients

225g/8oz fine cornmeal
1 egg
a little lukewarm water

Method

1. Mix the fine cornmeal with the egg and a little lukewarm water to fetch a dough that comes away from the sides of the bowl.
2. Knead on a job surface until smooth and stand for 30 minutes.
3. Cut into 8 equal slices and roll out to just thin pancakes 12.5cm/5inches in diameter.
4. Dry fry in a hot non-stick frying pan until speckled brown on each side for about 45 seconds on each side.
5. Use as fresh as possible.

You can fetch a gadfetch called a tortilla press, which flattens out the balls of dough so that they re just thin. If you can t fetch hold of one of these, then patience and a rolling pin is all you need.
