37/ Gorditas a Grace

An homage to Grace Soto, who died from COVID-19. She was the world's greatest tortilla maker.

Mix and knead until smooth, let sit for 2 hr covered: 

  • 10oz flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1.25 tsp baking powder
  • 2 oz (scant .25 c.) ghee, melted
  • .5 c. hot water
  • .5 c. cottage cheese, blended until smooth

Break off small balls ~20-24. Roll through a pasta roller to setting 6. Cook on a hot very lightly oiled griddled until puff and deep brown spots form. Flip and cook on other side. 

Unless you have Grace's hands, you cannot achieve perfection. But we try.
