I’m 55 pages into Masa, decided to look up a recipe for masa tortillas. What are the odds I find the man responsible for this incredible tome? Thanks for making me a better chef.

Love it! When the Simple power of quality ingredients meets proper cooking techniques. Even a tortilla needs a Little Love.

Love Masienda products!

Thank you! Looks delicious ❤

Just got my Dona Rosa press yesterday and had taco night. The puff has been elusive for me, but using the same comal, last night every one of two dozen puffed and my family couldn't stop raving (the ultimate test). The masa is simple to make and cook quickly with a scent filling the kitchen and flavor in your mouth that's out of this world.

I got my started kit and made some tortillas, Oh! the flavor and freshness!! pulled me back to childhood . memories!! on the second batch I used my stand mixer with the paddle attachment bc the hook just didn't do well. I got beautiful pliable tortillas but only two of them puffed, it's ok they are delicious!!

Tried tonight for the first time. I didn’t use all the water and they seemed like a good texture, but the edges didn’t want to release from the plastic gracefully. So the shapes were quite only, but the flavor was good. I didn’t have produce bags, so tried both freezer bags and plastic wrap. Will try again!

Remember everyone don’t hear the water to the boiling point because it can over moisten masa, like flour

For how long is an unopened bag of instant masa harina good past its expiration date? What about an opened bag?

@Masienda

5 ай бұрын

For Masienda’s Heirloom Corn Masa Harina, we recommend consuming by the recommended “best by” date. However, its low moisture content should keep the masa shelf stable for longer periods. For additional shelf life, you may also choose to store in the fridge or freezer.

Put some ghee on top .. then it’s an Indian makki ki roti or also add grated radish into the flour - again a tip from the Indian sub continent

Is is possible to get good tamales with Masienda masa? I always make turkey tamales after Thanksgiving, and I'd love to "Masienda-ize" them this year. In the past, I've bought the grocery store Maseca for tamales.

@Masienda

Жыл бұрын

It is! You can absolutely use our masa harina, you'll get basically the same texture as you get from Maseca. If you want a little bit of interesting/coarser texture, you can buy a little of our whole kernel corn, cook it with cal, then grind in a food processor and mix that with masa harina and some water for a masa that more closely resembles typical tamal masa.

How hot should the comal be?

What does it mean if the outside gets dry/cooked and the inside is still moist?

@Masienda

2 ай бұрын

If the outside of a tortilla is dry or cooked while the inside remains moist, it usually indicates that it still needs to cook through. Was the inside moist in a raw way? Also, were you able to achieve a puff in the tortilla? Achieving a puff ensures even cooking throughout. Here's our tortilla puff tips video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hoJ_wdCxkandabg.html

@Masienda yes it was raw inside. However one side was able to cook, but the other side was crumbling. I did manage to get some to puff, but the others had one side cracking/crumbling. I was using an iron griddle on a gas stove
