You can also use the flour and water mixture below for making tamales. Mix the masa harina and water together in a bowl to form a soft dough. You may need to add more masa harina if the dough is sticky.
Form balls the size of golf balls.
Line both surfaces of a tortilla press with 2 layers of plastic wrap and place the dough ball inside. Press flat, remove from press and carefully remove plastic wrap. Continue with the remaining dough. If you do not have a tortilla press, you can roll flat with a rolling pin. Toast the tortillas, one at a time, on a griddle .
