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.
