    I own both the top tortilla press models, agree with the ranking. Owned the Victoria first, the Masienda press is much nicer. Also, “making tortillas is easy” is a true, but making tortillas that puff….that’s where the magic is. Check out the great videos on making them puff from Masienda

    • @laiuppa
      @laiuppa Рік тому +5

      Totally agree, the dough should be like new play dough, moist but not sticking to you hands. Mixing well is important, and it’s suggested you let the dough rest for at least 20 mins after mixing from masa harina, helps let it hydrate. If it dries out, add more water. You can’t overwork masa dough (no gluten)

    • @samuelmuldoon4839
      @samuelmuldoon4839 3 місяці тому

      Squish the tortilla dough in your hand before cooking or try to make a ball out of it. When it is dry, it does not stick to itself and falls apart. Also, it must be noxtamalized. Home-ground raw uncooked crude corn falls apart no matter how much water is used.

    @wastrelway3226 Рік тому +3

    The gorditas look great. I don't care much for deep-frying, so I'll have to see if there's a way to bake them like cornbread. I know they won't be the same...
    No, you do not need a tortilla press. You can roll them out or pat them out by flipping the dough between your hands, as is traditional. And then there is the use of plastic...

      @wastrelway3226 Рік тому +1

      @@lynnstlaurent6789 I don't know. I think that might work, but it would be tricky to get the crispy outside and soft inside. I'd do them one at a time in a wok, maybe. You need a lot of heat and you'd have to flip them several times and make sure they don't burn. Deep-frying is easy, but I'm with Satchel Paige who supposedly said, "Avoid fried food, it angers the blood."

    The tortilla press test was dumb. The little one might be harder to use, but only by a tiny fraction which is probably compensated for by not having to find storage space and being able to grab out of the cupboard with one hand. Nothing makes sense about putting a large dough ball in a small press. The cookies, however….I am going to do them. Wondering what brand of lard you used
