Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (185 g/6 oz) plain flour, sifted
- 1 cup (150 g/4 3/4 oz) maize meal, sifted
- 1 cup (250 ml/8 fl oz) warm water
Method
1. Combine the flour and maize meal in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and then gradually add the warm water. Using a knife, mix to a firm dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for 3 minutes or until smooth.
2. Divide the dough into 16 portions. Roll out one portion on a lightly floured surface to a 20 cm (8 inch) round. Set aside, cover with plastic wrap and repeat with remaining portions.
3. Heat a dry heavy-based frying pan or flatplate. Place one tortilla in the pan. When the edges begin to curl slightly, turn and cook the other side. A few seconds each side is ample cooking time. If residual flour begins to burn in the pan, wipe it out with paper towels.
