柔软,芳香,新鲜制作的玉米饼和商店购买的玉米饼之间没有比较。您可以手工推出玉米饼,但是玉米饼的压力机可实现更快,更一致的结果。这是一个廉价的工具(在线在线可用mexgrocer.com), and if you have one, it’s more likely that you’ll make fresh tortillas often.
Pinch off a golfball-size piece of dough and roll it into a ball. Cover the bottom plate of the press with a sheet of plastic and put the dough ball in the center. Cover with the other sheet of plastic and press with your palm to flatten slightly. Close the press and firmly push down on the handle. Rotate the tortilla one-half turn and press again. Repeat if necessary until the tortilla is an even 1/16 inch thick.
With a spatula, flip the tortilla over onto the hot side and cook until the bottom is lightly browned in spots, about 20 seconds more.
Flip again so the first side is on the hot part of the griddle and cook until the tortilla puffs in spots and browns lightly on that side, about 20 seconds more (if it doesn’t puff, the griddle isn’t hot enough, the dough is too dry, or you cooked it too long on the cool side). Immediately wrap the tortilla in a clean, dry cloth.
Repeat pressing and cooking the remaining dough, stacking and wrapping the finished tortillas in the cloth. Once they’re all cooked, let them rest in the cloth for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. During this time, they’ll steam themselves, becoming soft and pliable. You can also wrap the cloth-wrapped stack in foil and keep warm in a 200°F oven for about an hour.
