Batter Corn Tortillas (Gluten-Free)

I don’t have much luck trying to make rolled or pressed tortillas and I don’t have a reliable source locally so these work as a good substitute.

For best results mix up batter and let rest at least 1 hr at room temp. or overnight in the fridge.

You can make these ahead and store them sealed in the refrigerator or freezer.

1. Whisk dry ingredients into a medium bowl until well blended.

5. Let rest at least 1 hour at room temperature or overnight in the fridge.
6. If batter is to thick to pour and spread easily add milk or water to adjust viscosity.
7. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and add a spoonful of vegetable oil. Pour about 1/2 cup of the batter into pan. then tilt the pan around and around to spread out the tortilla batter.
8. Cook until the edges look dry (about 1 min or less) then flip and brown the other side.

Cook until the edges look dry (about 1 min or less)

If using right away, stack them and then cover with a moist kitchen towel tucked under the bottom tortilla. Keep in a warm over (150 degrees) until serving time.

You can stuff these with leftover chilli, scrambled eggs etc. with cheese and other toppings or with chopped fruit and yogurt.

Storing Tortillas:
Sprinkle  a small amount of corn flour on sheets of waxed paper and stack the tortillas individually. Then put the whole stack in a plastic bag and store in a refrigerator or freezer.
