Instructions
  1. Add salt to corn meal and mix well. Mix in water and let set until mixture can be shaped into two-inch balls. Place balls between two sheets of wax paper, then press down thin on chopping board. Cook on both sides on very lightly greased griddle. Tortilla should come off griddle before browning. Do not cook crisp.
Tostadas
  1. Cut corn tortillas in little pie-slice shapes. Drop slices in very hot lard, 400 degrees, and fry until crisp. Drain well and salt lightly.
