Masa harina

Masa harina is a traditional Mexican flour made from nixtamalized corn, soaked in slaked lime (cal), cooked, rinsed, then dried and ground. Nixtamalization gives the flour its signature tortilla aroma, deeper flavor, and characteristic dough plasticity. Without it, tortillas would fall apart and lack their typical fragrance. Perfect for corn tortillas, tamales, pupusas, arepas, sopes, and tlacoyos. Just add water and a pinch of salt, no yeast, no eggs. It cannot be substituted with regular corn flour, which is not nixtamalized.
