You asked for it!


I can't disappoint my fans ( all two of them!) so here is the tortilla recipe I have been using.


Makes 8 tortillas (i double it)

1/4 cup cornmeal

1/4 cupcold qater

1/2 cup boiling water

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tablespoon oil

1 cup flour (250 ml)


Combine cornmeal and cold water. Add boiling, salted water in a saucepan and heat over full heat. Stir until the mix is thick. Romove and place in a mixing bowl. Add oil and flour and mix thoroughly. Turn out onto a floured surface and need about 10 minutes. Divide into 8 equal portions. Shape into balls then roll out to .125cm thick (yes exactly!)

Heat an unoiled, heavy cast iron pan over moderate heat and cook one at a time. Flip several times. That's it!

I store them in an airtight container and reheat in the oven wrapped in foil for tea.Yuuuuummmm. :)
