Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to fry tortillas on water with an egg in a frying pan? Very simple and fast. First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Take the flour of the highest grade. Vegetable oil is suitable for any suitable for frying. I have refined sunflower oil.
Step 2:
In a bowl, combine the egg, room temperature water and salt. Mix everything thoroughly with a whisk until smooth.
Step 3:
Add the sifted flour in parts. Knead the elastic dough.
Step 4:
At first, the dough will stick strongly to your hands, but as you knead it will become less sticky and more elastic. If the dough turns out to be a little thin (which is unlikely), you can add a little more flour, but keep in mind that an overabundance of flour will make the finished products hard and very dense. And this should be avoided.
Step 5:
Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the dough and knead well again. Gradually, the dough will become soft, elastic and will stop sticking to your hands.
Step 6:
Roll the dough into a ball, wrap it in a bag and let it rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Step 7:
Divide the dough into 6-8 identical pieces.
Step 8:
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. If you roll it out on a table sprinkled with flour, shake the flour off the dough before roasting so that it does not burn.
Step 9:
Fry the tortillas in a preheated frying pan (I have mode 7 of 9) in vegetable oil on both sides until golden brown.
Step 10:
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.
Step 11:
Put the finished tortillas on top of each other and serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!
Be prepared for the fact that flour may need more or less than indicated in the recipe. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the desired consistency of the dough. To avoid mistakes, read about flour and its properties!
Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
