Directions
-
With a fork, mix the Masa and salt.
-
Add the water slowly until the masa holds together and the water is absorbed evenly.
-
The tortilla dough will be moist, but not overly sticky.
-
Divide the dough into 12 balls (about the size of golf balls).
-
Cover with plastic, as you don't want the dough to dry out.
-
To make the tortillas, take a piece of wax paper and fold it in half.
-
Place a ball of dough in between the wax paper.
-
Squish the ball down using the bottom of a pie plate (PYREX is best, since you can see what's going on).
-
When the tortillas is thin, but not too thin, you're done.
-
Do this for all tortillas, layering them with the used wax paper sheets so they don't dry out.
-
Heat a cast iron skillet to _hot_.
-
Tortillas must cook fast else they dry out.
-
Cook each tortillas, flipping it several times and encoraging steam to

form ; if you're lucky or skilled the tortilla will puff up like a baloon.
-
This should be encouraged by pressing lightly on the tortilla with the bottom of a spatula while the tortilla is cooking.
-
The steam keeps the tortillas moist and tender.
-
The tortilla is done when light brown patches appear on both sides.
-
Place the baked tortillas in a towel-lined basket (or use the pie plate).
-
Cover with another towel; this steams the tortillas.
