About This Product
MASA Tortillas White Masa Harina
1kg bag
This is the masa harina we use in our own Bristol tortilleria. Rather than choosing a single flour, we’ve developed our own blend of carefully selected premium nixtamalised white corn masa harinas to give us the balance of corn flavour, softness and flexibility we want from our tortillas.
Masa harina is made from corn that has undergone nixtamalisation, the traditional process at the heart of tortilla making. Add water and salt and it forms a soft, workable masa that can be pressed and cooked into fresh corn tortillas at home.
It’s not just for tortillas either. Masa harina is a staple ingredient across Mexican and Central American cooking and can be used for tamales, gorditas, sopes, pupusas and many other corn-based dishes.
How to make corn tortillas: Add water gradually to the masa harina with a pinch of salt and mix until you have a soft, pliable dough that holds together without sticking excessively or cracking around the edges. Divide into balls and flatten using a tortilla press or between two flat surfaces.
Cook each tortilla in a hot, dry frying pan or comal, turning until cooked through with some light browning. Stack the cooked tortillas immediately in a tortilla warmer or clean folded tea towel so the trapped steam keeps them warm, soft and flexible.
Why our blend? Different masa harinas behave slightly differently in flavour, texture and hydration. We developed this particular blend for the tortillas we make every day in our tortilleria, and now you can use the same flour at home.
