Corn Tortillas
 
2 cups Masa or Instant Masa 
Approx. 1 1/3 cup Water
  
Mix together masa and enough water to form a soft dough. Knead on
a surface sprinkled lightly with extra masa until smooth and elastic.

Divide dough into 15 equal portions and shape into balls. Cover
with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen cloth

Roll out a portion to a 15 cm  - 18 cm  diameter between two pieces
of waxed paper, or pat out by hand to form a tortilla. Repeat with
remaining portions.

Keep tortillas soft, covered with damp kitchen cloth, until required.
Preheat a heavy-based fry pan over a medium heat.

Cook tortillas for about 30 sec each side or until speckled and
cooked through. Stack cooked tortillas in a basket or bowl and
cover to keep them warm and flexible.
