How To Make Masa Sheets Tutorial (No-Knead)

This is another alternative to the vegan egg sheets I made last summer - easy masa sheets! You can sub regular flour but these seem to keep longer, are tastier and easier to handle. They are also quite cheap compared to tofu and great for anything, especially kyaraben! Using just a few tablespoons of flour, salt, some water and some cornstarch you can great amazing little sheets - just don't forget to add your favorite natural food dye!

Masa Kyaraben Sheets Recipe:
1/4 cup of Masa Harina
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Cornstarch
Enough Water to mix
Natural Food Coloring (optional)

Step 1. Start with about 1/8 to 1/4 cup of Masa Harina mixed with salt, water and cornstarch.

Step 2. Add in your food coloring (preferably gel) and mix with your fingers or chopsticks, adding water along the way.

Step 3. Mix and slowly add water until it starts to thin out. Make sure to catch all of the lumps and pieces of flour before continuing on. Add more water if it starts to get thick. You want it like thin pancake batter.


















Step 4. Spread your batter in a cold, unheated non-stick skillet (I used my trusty Pink Bean skillet), place a cover on top for 2-5 minutes, take off and allow to continue to cook.



















Step 5. Take your spatula and make sure that nothing sticks to the sides once everything looks done and dry. Let it cool a small amount, place on a plate and make more sheets - taking care not to place them on top of each other if you want full control over them.

Enjoy!
