Whether raw corn flour or cooked corn flour should be used to bake tortillas? My answer is: Baking tortillas requires raw cornmeal and corn kernels. Cornmeal is starch in the kitchen. Cornstarch is especially used in Western pastries. Many biscuits and cakes use cornstarch. There is also a better corn starch called poppy flour, which is actually corn starch. You don’t need cornstarch to bake tortillas.

====Corncake====

Preparation recipe: 400g Fuqiang flour, 100g fine cornmeal, 50g white sugar, 25g milk powder, 8g yeast, 150 grams of quick-frozen corn kernels.

Preparation method:

1. Add water to a pot and bring to a boil, add quick-frozen corn kernels to blanch, boil for 3-5 minutes, remove the corn kernels, drain and set aside. , bring the water to cook the corn kernels to lukewarm and set aside. Put the rich flour, fine cornmeal, white sugar, milk powder and yeast together and stir evenly. Pour in lukewarm corn water and stir evenly, stir for a while, and stir in the white sugar and yeast until completely dissolved.

2. Leave the mixed corn tortilla batter for 40-60 minutes to allow the corn batter to fully ferment. Do not stir during the fermentation period. When the corn batter has obviously expanded in volume, preheat the electric baking pan, pour in an appropriate amount of salad oil, scoop out an appropriate amount of corn batter with a spoon, and pour it onto the electric baking pan. When the color of the corn batter becomes darker and the surface solidifies, turn it over. Fry the other side until the surface is golden.

Tips:

1. To bake tortillas, you need to use raw, fine cornmeal. Modern people are used to eating fine grains. If the cornmeal is thicker, it will irritate your throat. Whether it is quick-frozen corn kernels or fresh corn kernels, do not throw away the water after blanching. The corn tortillas baked with corn water and flour will have a more fragrant taste. Do not stir the tortilla batter after it is mixed, and do not stir it before baking to avoid collapse and affecting the degree of fermentation.

2. Adding corn kernels when making tortillas can better bring out the flavor of tortillas. It is best to choose sweet corn or fruit corn instead of waxy corn. Because the texture of waxy corn is hard, and the taste of corn is not as good as sweet corn and fruit corn. If cornmeal and cornmeal were the same ingredient, the cooked ones would not be used when making tortillas. If there are two things, it can only be used as cornmeal.
