Hello friends, how are you? I hope you're well. Today I want to share with you a recipe that I love and that you might like too. It's also very simple. The recipe I want to teach you is called torejas, which are made with flour. Well, let's begin.
To prepare this recipe, you need:
Flour
Salt
Sugar dissolved in water
Oil
And that's it
The ingredients I mentioned contain 8 tablespoons of flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and a pinch of salt. You can choose these ingredients freely, as the recipe doesn't specify the exact amounts of salt, sugar, or water. It's a matter of taste. The ingredients I included are listed with those measurements so you can see an approximate example.
The story behind this recipe is that I learned it from my grandmother, like many others. In addition to the fried corn recipe I made a while back, my grandmother taught me this one. This is the story, and although it's short, it has a lot of meaning for me.
That said, let's do the subtraction. First, add the salt, water, and sugar to the flour. Once done, mix well. If the water doesn't completely compact the flour, you can add a little more, but not too much. If we add too much or too little flour, the dough will be sticky or too runny and won't work.
To give the flour a better consistency and even browning, we should add a little oil. This also helps the dough become more compact and easier to knead.
With all this, I prepared the dough, and it was ready, as shown in the photo below. I also added a little more flour to make it even.
For the next step, we simply let the dough rest for a while and then knead it to make the tostadas.
And after kneading the dough it would look like this.
Then we fry them until they are golden brown.
And the end result would be this: a plate full of very tasty and crispy flour toast.
Well, friends, that's the complete recipe. I hope you enjoyed it and that you'll be inspired to make it too. I love you all. See you soon. This post has been translated from Spanish to English using Google Translate.
