I suspect not, since it was on the bottom. Incidentally, it runs cold by about ten degrees f. (While making it it was okay for checking for when I got past the water boil-off)
You know how it’s sometimes kind of hard to find people to eat all your baked goods when you’re on a baking kick? Bake yourself and then it’s easy to eat them all yourself.
I don’t mean to polish my knob, but I am doing a vegetarian menu this year that blows those insipid recipes out of the water. I guess I should start a foodie website and rake in that sweet-sweet ad revenue from click-bait.
(Totally being sarcastic)
Here’s the menu:
Velouté de Châtaignes (creamy fresh chestnut soup)
Spanish tortilla with homemade saffron aioli
My grandmother’s green bean hot dish (excellent, not your basic beans+soup+canned fried onions mess at all)
Roasted root vegetables with garden herbs (rutabagas, etc, with sage and rosemary from the garden)
Winter salad with buttermilk dressing (updated Waldorf)
Fresh corn soufflé
Onion-Mushroom-Roquefort-Walnut tarte tatin (centerpiece dish)
A trick I use with questionable fish is to soak the fillet in milk after it thaws for 20 min to 2 hours. Pat it dry and glaze/season. It usually takes any “fishyness” smell/flavor out of it.
Most recently, I used this flour tortilla recipe and was happy with the results. I found having a video helpful as another form of feedback to see if I was following the recipe correctly.
This is my goto recipe. I use the butter variant and they’re fluffy, chewy and perfect every single time. I used to use a press, but didn’t care for how small the tortillas ended up so I mostly smash the dough balls with a large pan or something similarly silly.
2 cups masa harina, 2 tsp vegetable oil, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 1/4 cup warm water
Mix, and let hydrate for 5 minutes. Divide into 12 balls, and roll out or press. Keep those not being worked on covered to keep from drying out. Cook in a skillet over medium high.
For 10 flour tortillas:
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, 1/3 cup shortening or lard, 1 cup warm water
Mix flour and salt, then cut in fat until pebbly. Mix in water slowly until dough holds together (you probably won’t need all of the water!). Divide into 10 balls, cover to keep from drying out, and let rest for at least 30 minutes. Flour a surface and rolling pin, and roll out into tortillas. Cook in a skillet over medium high.
I make tortillas almost every week and use flour, salt, baking powder, vegetable oil and warm water. The thing with tortillas though is that you have to go by feel. I hand knead the dough and have to know when to add more oil, water, or flour based on the consistency of the dough. It’s something you learn with trial and error.
There’s also an old wives tale that says your tortillas will never turn out properly if you are in a bad mood when you make them!
At least for corn tortillas, placing them in a tortilla keeper (steaming basket) after you cook them makes a world of difference when it comes to having pliable tortillas - you can just use a pot/saucepan with a lid.
Baking powder in flour tortillas is common, helps them come out more like a light fluffy tortilla and less like a flat flour brick
Chili crisp! Goes great on everything. Umami, flavor, and texture bomb. Home made is best, but Fly By Jing is pretty good.
Along similar lines, Chinese god oil. Amazing with noodles, fish, and lots of other things. A cheater version is chili crisp mixed with black vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, green onion, and cilantro.
