If you bake pancakes at once, then you need to divide the dough into 18 identical parts and cover with a damp towel or film. If you bake the cakes later, wrap the dough in a film and place it in the fridge.

To form tortillas from cornmeal, place the dough portion in the layers of the film. Roll out the rolling pin into a round shape cake with a diameter of approximately 15-17 cm. Repeat this procedure with all the dough pieces.

Cast iron heavy frying pan should be very warmed up, almost to the haze. With cakes, remove the film and put it on a frying pan. Reduce the heat to medium and fry half a minute. Then the cake should be turned over and continue to cook another minute. Turn over and cook again until the cake is slightly swollen, but it will still be soft, it's about 30 seconds. Then cakes from corn flour should be removed from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining dough.
