Fresh Tortilla's

Started playing a bit making fresh Torilla's. Started with Buckwheat. Didn't "puff" when cooked, but the texture and flavor was still quite nice.

I used my processor as I don't have a larger pestle and mortar and that may (or may not) have made a difference.

Nice, Todd. I have been playing with nixtamalization of corn, but can't get the grind fine enough...been using a corona grinder. However, I have been impressed with the flavor. I can get a good grind for tamales. This appears to be the common wisdom...one needs the, only available in Mexico, Nixtamatic grinder. As for buckwheat, I may give that a try. It looks nice. How long did you boil/soak?

Hi Frank, I used a standard food processor with a hand blender attachment and it did "ok". I'm not sure what the larger pestle will cost, but may take a look. I'd likely be more interested in a tortilla press for thickness consistency. I used parchment and rolling pin. Boiled for 5min and soaked for 10min, so all can be done in less than 30 (including the cook). I cook allot for the gluten conscious so that's why I chose the buckwheat (and I had some handy).
