For clarity, corn needs to be nixtamalized to be formed into a tortilla. Without this process of adding calcium citrate it will just be a clumpy corny mess. I have no clue how the mayans figured this out, but they soaked the corn in slaked lime and wood ashes that contain the compound to break down and unlock the nutrients and protiens in corn, and also discovered that this made the ground dried corn left over suitable for a type of flour when ground up and formed into a tortilla (or tamale)
Calcium hydroxide*
@@williamglass342where do you find such treasure?
He has the correct calcium hydroxide in the ingredient list. I have no idea why he is saying calcium citrate.
Thanks so much for watching. Share your tacos on IG so I can share!
Thanks for this , loved my grandmother’s corn tortillas from scratch , she was a 100 years old in 1986 when she passed and I have not had this flavor in my mouth since I was 18 ,,,, thanks again !
Dude, thank you for this video! I was honestly thinking “If this is gonna be just another Mazeca video I’m about to Yeet my phone through a wall” So thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you amigo. You've inspireded me to make my own tortillas today; best tacos I've made so far.
thank you. love the power of simplicity
love it actually from scratch. well done.
Love this, thank you!!! 🌸
looks so delicious
Gracias paisa!! 🇲🇽👍👍👍
I'm catching up on all your recent vids. Now I wanna lock myself in the kitchen and cook!
I've making masa from scratch for about 6 months. This last time I forgot to add the lime. The masa was super hard to grind but there was no difference in mouth-feel or taste. (Corona hand mill grinder - 35 minutes EXACTLY ((light simmer)) - then cover tightly - leave until the next day)
Loved this vid - subbed.
Excellent video!
I'm going to try it
Damnnnn. Great video
appreciate the rgv rep!
Those look so much better than mine.... I'm definitely going to make my own Masa next time.
The Pastry Warden by Chef Andre Ward thank you ! Let me know how it goes chef.
I've just started boiling my first batch of corn :) I'm wondering though, can I add a pinch of salt to the masa?
thank you for this! will this work with popcorn? I mill popcorn for corn flour so I have about 50# to use
Tortillas reales 💚
Hi Matt new to your Channel saw you on Instagram I’m From the RGV South Texas 👋
Hi thanks for your video please how long can they stay in the fridge . And if the bread is taken out from the fridge will it become thick and dry or will they stay soft ? thanks.
Hello, is the calcium citrate really necessary?
It's an integral part of the process; it allows the husks to come out, allows the corn to properly form into a dough, and changes the flavor and nutritional content, so yes
That being said, it's not calcium citrate, it's calcium hydroxide also known as "cal"
Awesome!!!! You won’t believe how difficult it is to find vids on nixtamal into tortillas!
Question: how long do you grind? I’ve tried a food processor before and it turned out very sandy and wouldn’t come together like a dough.
Cortney Hernandez just like making peanut butter in a food processor, you gotta keep going. Even when you think it won’t grind any more ,keep going. You’ll see the masa start to ball up and smooth out. If you must, add a touch of H2O to help it out.
acooknamedMatt Hey, thanks for the reply!!! Aha, I see. I just didn’t do it long enough. Soon as my new order of corn comes in I’ll give it another whirl. Much appreciated!!!!
I watched this video like 5 times now! Love it
Nice dude
Sebastián Mendoza thank you
Would it be possible to make these with a handheld foodmill?
So what kind of corn do you need to have to make this? I'm from Northern Europe so we don't have same things sold at the market as u do.
Can i use canned corn or does it need to be fresh?
If I wanted to make some but had extra, what is their shelf life if placed in a ziplock? Or how would you store them for maximum freshness?
I always put them in ziplock bags (for moisture) in the refrigerator (will last a couple of weeks) if you let them outside they will go bad in arou 1-2 days.
@acooknamedmatt are there any more natural alternatives than using the plastic bag to coat the tortilla press?
Try two green banana leaves with waxy side facing each other. In the Philippines its used as wrap for pasty types of food.
By the way the food processor is now 60 dollars up from 20. Does this food processor really do the job. Your tortillas look great.
Can I just grind the corn without cooking and soaking overnight
Can you make it with fresh sweetcorn???
Ever have any problems with them being too dry? Like after you grind them up?
Joe P that’s if you let it sit uncovered. Just add a touch of salt
I add water when grinding the corn, that’s the way they do it in the big grinders (molinos) at the villages in Central America. Watch this video that I found very helpful: ruclips.net/video/nKwCv9PyPyc/видео.html
Hi, thanks for the video, the links to the corn above don't work anymore, can you put some current links (I don't want to get the wrong stuff) - thank you again.
Thank you. I got confused when they had this dry corn they were calling Maiz. Like is it corn or not. I geuss I cant use canned corn. Can I? What if I put the calcium stuff in that instead?
Hi, it has to be dry corn, then cooked with the lime (Mexican cal) the lime powder breaks down the skin and this process changes the corn and it what’s going to make the flexibility of the masa. The canned corn is fresh corn, the dry corn is like an older fresh corn that has dried by itself in the husk. I hope this helps.
In this video you can understand better that process: ruclips.net/video/nKwCv9PyPyc/видео.html
@@janicat8989 what if I use cornmeal boiled with lime and remove the excess of water?
@@deepdude4719 that would ruin the corn meal, it will become liquid, because the lime is meant to dissolve the corn skin at the same time that adds nutrients to the corn. That’s why he says (the video that I add) that you have to remove the broken corn that you find.
what if I don't have calcium citrate?
In india we call it makki ki roti
Is it possible to make tortilla without the calcium?
I tried and no, but I saw a video that they cooked the corn with ashes from wood.
tortillas are getting very expensive in mexico
Please. Try. For. Corn. Bread. For. Healthy. Snak. For. World.
Something wrong. They look a little too dry. They should puff up when you grill them, and be a little more pliable.
Real Tortillas are made fromfermented corn. Uncomparable difference for your guts
