      Title: Corn Tortillas (Making) 
 Categories: Breads, World 
      Yield: 16 Servings 
  
------------------------------FOR 16 TORTILLAS------------------------------ 
  1 1/2 c  Masa harina 
    1/2 c  Cornmeal 
  1 1/2 tb Oil 
  1 1/3 c  Warm water 
  
  Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl and beat with a wooden 
  spoon until thick and smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl, and cover the 
  surface of the dough with plastic wrap while pressing and frying   
individual 
  tortillas so the dough will not dry out. To form the tortillas, wet your 
  hands and pull off a lump of dough about the size of a golfball. Roll it 
  into a ball. Tear off 2 pieces of plastic wrap about a foot long. Either   
in 
  a tortilla press, or between 2 dinner plates, place the ball between the 
  sheets of plastic wrap. Press down with the palm of your hand to flatten 
  slightly, then press firmly to form a thin circle. Use the first tortilla 
  to test the consistency of the dough. If the edges of the tortilla are 
  uneven and crumbly, the dough needs a little more water. If the sheet of 
  plastic sticks to the dough and it is very soft, add a few tablespoons of 
  masa harina. Repeat with the remaining dough, leaving individual tortillas 
  between the sheets of plastic wrap. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high 
  heat until hot. Peel off the top sheet of plastic and invert the tortilla 
  into the hot pan. Grill until stiffened, about 30 seconds; turn for 1 
  minute or less, until the side is slightly browned, then turn to the first 
  side for 30 seconds. The time for grilling each tortilla is less than 2 
  minutes. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
