Corn Tortillas Recipe

INGREDIENTS

2 cups (or more) masa

½ tsp salt

Vegetable oil (for brushing)

Water

METHOD

Whisk masa and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in 1½ cups water; knead in bowl until dough forms (the dough should feel firm and springy and look slightly dry). Add more water by tablespoonfuls if too crumbly; add a little more masa if too wet. Measure 1 heaping tbsp dough and roll into a ball. Flatten on a tortilla press lined with a plastic bag. If tortilla crumbles, dough is too dry (add more water); if it sticks to the plastic, dough is too wet (add more masa). Repeat, pressing out 2 more tortillas. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; lightly brush with oil. Cook 2–3 tortillas until charred in spots and edges start to curl, 1–2 minutes. Turn; cook through, about 15 seconds. Transfer to a kitchen towel; fold over to keep warm. Repeat, in batches, with remaining dough.
