Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 1 ¼ cups (125 grams) blanched almond flour
- 2 tablespoons (14 grams) psyllium husk powder
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon (10 grams) unflavored gelatin powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons warm water
Cooking Ingredient:
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the dry mixture by combining almond flour, psyllium husk powder, gelatin powder, and sea salt in a food processor. Pulse until the ingredients are thoroughly integrated.
- Introduce eggs and warm water to the dry mixture. Process the ingredients until the dough forms a cohesive ball, pulling away from the processor sides. Adjust moisture by adding water incrementally, one tablespoon at a time, ensuring the dough remains dense and moist without becoming wet or crumbly.
- Transform the dough into equal portions by flattening it into a disc and dividing it like a pie, creating 6 symmetrical sections.
- Shape each dough section into a golf ball-sized sphere. Position the ball between two parchment paper sheets and gently roll into an ultra-thin circular tortilla, approximately 1/16-inch (1.5 millimeters) thick. A tortilla press can serve as an alternative shaping method.
- Prepare a non-stick pan by applying a minimal amount of oil over medium-high heat. Use a crumpled paper towel to distribute the oil evenly and remove excess. Verify the pan’s temperature is suitable for creating brown spots.
- Transfer a tortilla to the heated pan by carefully flipping it from the parchment paper, ensuring the dough side makes direct contact with the surface. Delicately remove the parchment paper. Cook each side for 30-60 seconds until appetizing brown spots emerge. Rotate and repeat the cooking process for the remaining tortillas, taking care to avoid overcooking.
- Maintain the tortillas’ soft and flexible texture by keeping them warm. If they cool and stiffen, briefly reheat in a microwave to restore their pliable consistency.
Notes
- Master the dough thickness to ensure perfect, foldable tortillas around 1/16-inch thin.
- Select warm water strategically to help dough bind smoothly without becoming sticky.
- Crank up the heat before cooking to achieve those delectable golden-brown speckles.
- Handle parchment paper with gentle precision when transferring tortillas to prevent tearing.
- Maintain tortilla warmth as a key factor for maintaining softness and flexibility during serving.
