heat, for at least 5 to 8 minutes, until thoroughly heated. (If your pan isn\u2019t hot enough, the tortillas will stick.)<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-group\"><h4 class=\"wprm-recipe-group-name wprm-recipe-instruction-group-name wprm-block-text-normal\">To make masa or dough:<\/h4><ul class=\"wprm-recipe-instructions\"><li id=\"wprm-recipe-24068-step-1-0\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\"><span style=\"display: block;\">Mix together the flour, salt, and water in a large mixing bowl and  knead the masa in a circular motion. Do so for a couple minutes, until the dough feels smooth and has no lumps. If it feels too dry, add a bit more water. Masa dries out fast, so if you leave it unattended, cover it with a clean moist kitchen towel or cloth.<\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-group\"><h4 class=\"wprm-recipe-group-name wprm-recipe-instruction-group-name wprm-block-text-normal\">To make the tortillas:<\/h4><ul class=\"wprm-recipe-instructions\"><li id=\"wprm-recipe-24068-step-2-0\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\"><span style=\"display: block;\">Cut out 2 plastic circles from a thin plastic bag, like ones you get at grocery stores. (Don\u2019t use plastic wrap.)  Roll a piece of the masa in your palm into a ball about 1 1\/2\u2033 in diameter. Place one plastic circle on the bottom of the tortilla press and place the masa ball on top. Place the other plastic circle on top of the ball and press down the press to make a flat disk, jiggling the press a little as you get to the bottom (this makes a rounder tortilla). Open the press and check the tortilla for dryness and, if needed, add water to the remaining masa (the masa should be as soft and smooth as Play-Doh). Take the top plastic off, lift the bottom plastic with the tortilla in one hand and peel the tortilla from the plastic with the other hand.<\/span><\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-24068-step-2-1\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">Alternatively, you can place a ball between plastic sheets or parchment paper and roll the tortillas out with a rolling pin. They should be about 5\u2033 in diameter and about 1\/8\u2033 thick.<\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-24068-step-2-2\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">Place the tortilla on the hot comal or skillet. Let it cook for at least 30 seconds (resist the urge to touch or adjust it). As soon as it can be flipped without sticking to the comal \u2013 it should be opaque on the side that it was cooking on. Flip with a spatula and cook for about a minute, until opaque and starting to  freckle on the other side. If it is opaque but it has white-ish areas, you need to leave it a bit more, until those white-ish shadows become freckled with brown spots. Turn over once more, and now, after a couple seconds, tortilla should puff up like pita bread, if not all over tortilla, at least in an area of it. Let the tortilla cook still, for about 10 seconds, so that it cooks in between the area that puffed up.<\/div><\/li><li id=\"wprm-recipe-24068-step-2-3\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\">If eaten that same day, tortillas may be kept wrapped in a clean kitchen towel or cloth. If not, wrap in a kitchen towel, inside a closed plastic bag and place in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to 3 days, afterwards they will turn too hard. Reheat in hot comal for 30 seconds or so on each side before eating. They can also be frozen and kept for months.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n      \t\t\n\t\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, you can buy them already made at the store&#8230; but there are few things that can compare to the nurturing and filling sensation of homemade corn tortillas.
