Ingredients
Corn flour | 0.5 kg |
Water | 200-250 ml |
Salt | 1 tsp |
Sugar | 1 tsp |
Vegetable oil | 2-4 Art. l |
Step cooking
- Pour 500 g of cornmeal into a deep bowl. It is important to take precisely a large container in which it will be convenient to knead the dough for tortillas.
- Add 1 tsp to flour. salt and sugar and pour 1 tbsp. l vegetable oil. We gradually pour 150-200 ml of water, carefully mixing all the ingredients with your hands. The amount of water must be adjusted independently, while the dough should not be tight. The finished dough should remain soft and spill a little.
- Sprinkle a wooden board with a small amount of cornmeal so that the finished cakes do not stick. There is no need to cover the dough with cling film and let them insist.
- We proceed to the formation of corn tortillas, slightly lubricating the hands with vegetable oil. We break off a small piece from a common piece of dough, and in our hands we form a round cake with a thickness of not more than 1 cm. The size of the finished cake should be approximately like a palm. If you roll more cakes, then they turn out to be very thin and can be rather dry.
- We put the pan on the stove, pour vegetable oil in an amount of 2-3 tbsp. l When the oil warms up well, spread the corn tortillas. After a golden crust appears on one side, we turn the tortilla over with a spatula and fry it on the other side. It is recommended to fry the cakes on medium or low heat so that they are cooked not only outside but also baked well inside. After cooking, you can put cakes on a plate with a paper towel to get rid of excess fat.
- When all the cakes are cooked, transfer them to a beautiful dish and serve with satsebeli and tkemali from green plum with sauce. Since corn cakes are fresh, they can also be served with a sweet filling. The corn tortillas in the pan turn out to be a little greasy, so if you want a more dietary dish, then instead of the pan, the dough can be baked in the oven.
