Notes
Recipe Notes:
The first time I made this, I only got two 20 cm tortillas, but they turned out unevenly thick in some spots. For best results, aim for four evenly thin 15 cm tortillas by spreading the batter more consistently in the pan.- Use the right pan size – A small 15 cm pan helps control the shape and thickness better. If using a larger pan, try a ladle to pour the exact amount needed for each tortilla.
- Adjust batter consistency – If it's too thick, add a little extra water (1-2 tbsp) so it spreads more easily.
- Swirl the pan immediately – After pouring, tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter thinly before it sets.
- Cook on medium heat – This prevents overcooking before you get the right shape and thickness.
