I should go get one.<br /><br />BTW, I found your blog!!! I was wondering if you had one ... and I searched for "John P and Vegan Mofo" on the Googles ... and voila!Biancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545245728462853370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394180904499496652.post-11262707912021398812008-10-09T22:25:00.000-07:002008-10-09T22:25:00.000-07:00yum!

I used to be able to get incredible tortillas in the Sacramento/ Davis area, but for whatever reason San Francisco (certainly a burrito Mecca) disappoints.

One of my co-workers says that his grandmother adds just a little white flour to the mix to make a more tender tortilla, but I have not tried this yet.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01617710665891692426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394180904499496652.post-56630053138757837562008-10-07T08:59:00.000-07:002008-10-07T08:59:00.000-07:00kittee,It was approx 20 dollars - and the plastic ...kittee,<BR/>It was approx 20 dollars - and the plastic or waxed paper covers the wood (which seems pretty clean anyway), so it is not in contact with the dough.

If yours are not staying together, I wonder if the dough is too wet or too dry? Mine were too wet to start with, and I couldn't peel them off the plastic without them breaking, etc. A little more masa harina fixed the problem.JohnPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06982714106509253743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394180904499496652.post-60692993134860731942008-10-07T05:36:00.000-07:002008-10-07T05:36:00.000-07:00I love corn tortillas, but have failed miserably i...I love corn tortillas, but have failed miserably in my quest to make them myself. No press, so I have to roll them out by hand and they never ever stay together. It's the perfect activity for sending your blood pressure shooting right out the top of your head! lol<BR/><BR/>Luckily, I can buy pretty good frozen ones with no junky additives, so I'm happy. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394180904499496652.post-90590254048160723092008-10-07T03:54:00.000-07:002008-10-07T03:54:00.000-07:00I have a love/hate relationship with making my own...I have a love/hate relationship with making my own tortillas. of course, it might just be laziness.Celinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15483153865484260588noreply@blogger.com
