How to make tortillas with fresh corn

Take out the fresh corn and wash it, then take out the corn kernels and put them into a grinder. After crushing, it will become corn pulp. Take out the corn pulp and put it in a bowl, then pour an appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour into the bowl, stir it evenly with a spoon or chopsticks, and let it sit for 10 minutes. You can add water according to the actual situation, then put the pot on the stand and put cooking oil in it. After heating, put the cornmeal into the pot and press it into a round cake. At the beginning, you can fry it slowly over low heat. After the cornmeal is shaped, turn the cornmeal to make it evenly heated. Turn off the heat when both sides of the corn cake are golden brown, then serve it on a plate and let it sit for a while before eating.

Can I make tortillas without yeast?

Can't.

Of course, you need to add yeast to make corn tortillas. Yeast can help the dough rise. For example, when making buns and pancakes, the dough needs to rise, so you need to add an appropriate amount of yeast during the process. If the dough does not need to rise, such as making noodles and dumpling wrappers, you do not need to add yeast when making them. Therefore, you need to add yeast when making corn tortillas, otherwise the tortillas will not rise and will stick to the pan.

What to pay attention to when making corn tortillas

1. Try to avoid frying or pan-frying

When making tortillas, it is best to sprinkle some water or milk and yogurt on the pan. Try to avoid frying or pan-frying directly with oil, because frying or pan-frying will destroy the nutritional value of the tortillas, thereby losing the nutritional value of eating coarse grains.

2. Don’t add too much starch and sugar

When making tortillas, adding some refined white flour and pure starch will increase the fineness of the tortillas and effectively improve the taste, but don't add too much, otherwise the tortillas will become high-calorie food and reduce its nutritional value.
