I decided during my recent trip to LA that it's time for me to try to make tortillas here at Struan Farm. Happy to have "Old El Paso" available from the market, but they just aren't the same as hand made, fresh tortillas.
Considered putting a tortilla press into my suitcase for the trip back, but opted not to after finding one on (where else but?!) FISHPOND! I've since sourced masa (corn flour) over the internet at Dante's Fine Foods in Cambridge, La Boca Loca (blue, yellow and white are available), and also saw El Tio Pepe's Masa for sale at Nosh. So lots of options on the right type of flour.
My initial experiment went pretty well, although I think the griddle needs to be really hot. Also thinking that wood fired would be best. So don't call me Mamasita just yet!
