Homemade Masa.

[worth1]

Just made some homemade masa with my giant #22 electric meat grinder.
Busted up some frozen hominy and ran it through a few times in the meat grinder with the smallest plate I have 4.5 MM which is 11/64.
Works very well which means I wont be buying a corm mill to do it.
The taste is out of this world.
Put it back in bags and froze it, the stuff was still ice cold.

Well pull the cats tail and feed the hogs.
I stopped off at the Mexican market and low and behold they had the flat plate burr corn/grain mill I was looking for.
No name but cast iron tinned.
It was only 35 dollars and I got it.
You can supposedly use this thing to grind all sorts of stuff.
What I went there for was limes and cokes but at the front door before you go in the the main store they keep all manner of things like this and these things had just came in.
Giant kettles monster size strainers and so on.
This is what it looks like.
The place was cheaper than Walmart by 4 dollars imagine that and it is the same mill.

I just ground up my own homemade hominy by hand and made a couple of really ugly looking corn tortillas.
The flavor is out of this world compared to factory made store bought.
The house smells like roasting corn it is unbelievable.
The corn I used was the large white Mexican corn.
I wanted to experience the flavor as much as I could.
I have wanted to do this for years, it was on my bucket list.
Who on earth would have something like this on their bucket list.
