Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Cassava Flour
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ Cup Lard
- ½ Cup Cold Water
Instructions
- Measure the cassava flour and salt into a food processor, blitz to combine. Add lard to the processor, blitz just a few times to break up the lard and distribute a little.
- Add water to the food processor, blitz just long enough to combine.
- With clean or gloved hands, pinch a little of the mixture together. It should hold well, without being sticky. If it doesn't hold together, add a small amount of water - just a few drops at a time - combine, and test again. If it's sticky, add a little more cassava flour, combine, and test again.
- Dump mixture out onto a clean work surface, and gently knead to form a coherent ball of dough - without overworking it.
- Divide mixture into 6 equal portions. Form each portion into a ball, flatten slightly into a disk shape.
- Cut two pieces of parchment paper slightly bigger than the surfaces of your tortilla press.
- Sandwich one disk of dough between the pieces of parchment paper, press in tortilla press. I like to turn it 90 degrees after the first press, and press a second time.Repeat with the other 5 dough pieces.
- Heat a large nonstick pan over medium. Depending on the size, cook 1-3 of the tortillas for a couple minutes on each side, until dry, cooked through, and slightly browning on the high points.
- Serve hot
