Sour cream tortillas in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to fry tortillas on sour cream in a frying pan? First, prepare the necessary ingredients from the list. Sour cream is better to use not very watery, with a fat content of 20-25%. Use flour of the highest grade. Take a large, selected egg. Pre-melt the butter and refrigerate.

2. Step 2:

   

   In a bowl, combine sour cream, egg, melted butter, sugar and salt. Mix everything with a whisk until smooth and until the sugar dissolves.

3. Step 3:

   

   Sift flour with soda and pour parts into the dough. Knead a soft, slightly sticky dough. At first, you can knead with a whisk, and then with your hands. The dough turns out to be very tender, pliable.

4. Step 4:

   

   Depending on the size of the egg, humidity and fat content of sour cream, flour may need more or less. But it is better not to clog the dough with additional flour - the airiness of the finished products will disappear. Knead the dough until it begins to lag behind the walls of the bowl. I didn't need to add any extra flour at all. It is better to let the dough remain slightly sticky, then when rolling it out it can be corrected.

5. Step 5:

   

   Assemble the dough into a ball, cover with a towel and leave to rest for 30 minutes.

7. Step 6:

   

   Divide the dough into 10-12 identical pieces. I got 930 g of dough, so I divided it into 10 pieces of 93 g each. I baked in a frying pan with a bottom diameter of 20 cm, if you have a frying pan with a smaller diameter, then the pieces should be smaller, and their number, respectively, is greater.

8. Step 7:

   

   Roll out each piece on a floured table into a thin round cake with a diameter no larger than the diameter of the bottom of your frying pan.

9. Step 8:

   

   Fry the tortillas in a preheated frying pan (I have mode 7 of 9) in vegetable oil on both sides until golden brown. They fry very quickly, literally for 30-40 seconds on each side. Even faster than pancakes. In the process, they increase in volume, acquire airiness.

10. Step 9:

    

    You can fry in a dry frying pan without oil, but such cakes practically do not rise, there are no air bubbles, they are more dense. Try both options to choose which one you like best. I liked it with butter. Put the finished tortillas on top of each other and serve to the table. Bon appetit!
