Hey Chef--thanks for the vid recipe! But for some reason, none of my tortillas has ever puffed up. I just made these today for a taco night

Homemade tortillas are so much better that if you do decide to give these a try, be warned that you'll have a very hard time ever going back to the packaged option again. Whisk flour, salt, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Add vegetable shortening and work into flour mixture using a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Form a well in the middle of flour mixture and mix in hot water. Work flour and water mixture together with a fork and transfer to a cutting board. Knead until a smooth, soft dough is formed, about 3 minutes. Add more flour if dough is too sticky.

Here's my technique for making excellent corn tortillas every time! It takes some practice to master, but even the lousiest homemade corn tortilla is better than those cardboard store-bought ones. Make sure to let the dough rest so that it puffs up nicely while cooking. Add masa harina to a large bowl. Sprinkle in salt and add hot tap water. Stir mixture with your fingers until dough starts to pull together.

Hey Chef--thanks for the vid recipe! Can't tell from here! Chef John, I'd seen and used your recipes and think you are the best! Or is it all in the tortilla and you add extra for kneading? I hope you give these a try soon, and your days of using store-bought tortillas comes to a warm, soft, and delicious end soon. She doesn't do a voiceover, but this is a very well done, and easy to follow clip. Labels: Breads. I love to entertain but I like to do as must advance prep as possible. I flipped them frequently to control the burning, but when they were done I looked at them and realized that the small burnt spots were how they are supposed to be CB, sounds good! Thank you for posting Blanca's video. Chef John, you rock. I don't even get a bubble.

I recently got him on the phone to talk tortillas: specifically, how to make flour tortillas.

They are more authentic, because they didn't have baking soda or shortening to make them back in the day. Or a margarita. I have found the thinner you roll 'em, the better. I took masking tape and put the recipe instructions, measurements and cooking instructions on the bottom of the press. I have been wanting to try out my new straight-from-Mexico tortilla press but have lacked motivation. This has inspired me to make flour tortillas this weekend. The recipe for the dough will always be on the bag of masa harina you buy. I feel honored and grateful. Can I make the balls in the moriningand cook them right before dinner. Hands down! You may like this idea--I like to finely chop a shallot and some fine dice garlic,add take a little dill or chopped cilantro, saute in butter, cool and add that to my dough. I even use butter and they come out just fine. I made these to make quessadillas I decided that I hadn't rolled out the first couple quite thing enough, so I really laid into the remaining ones -- and found that it was really quite hard to over-roll these, and the thinner I rolled them the better they turned out.
