Plain tortillas
Makes 8
tortillas
Points per
tortilla: 1½
225g/8oz fine cornmeal (12pts)
1 egg (1½ pts)
a little lukewarm water
Mix the fine cornmeal with the egg and a little lukewarm water to get a dough that comes away from the sides of the bowl. Knead on a work surface until smooth and stand for 30 minutes.
Cut into 8
equal pieces and roll out to very thin pancakes 12.5cm/5inches in diameter.
Dry fry in a
hot non-stick frying pan until speckled brown on each side for about 45 seconds
on each side. Use as fresh as possible.
You can get a gadget called a tortilla press, which flattens out the balls of dough so that they re very thin. If you can t get hold of one of these, then patience and a rolling pin is all you need.

Note:
Although cornmeal is a core ingredient,
it is only core when made up as directed on the pack. Therefore this
recipe is NOT strictly no count.
