Corn Chips

5 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water Warm, 100 F.
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup masa harina or as needed
  • corn oil for frying

Directions

  1. 1
    In a mixing bowl, whisk the water, egg yolk and salt together until thoroughly mixed. Gradually add enough masa to make a soft dough, just stiff enough not to stick to your fingers.
  2. 2
    In a heavy skillet, deep fryer, or elec. skillet preheat oil to at least 375 F.
  3. 3
    Fit a cookie press or pastry bag with the plate or tip designed to make a flat, ribbed shape and fill it with the masa dough. Press out into the hot oil a few short lengths of dough, enough to cover only about half the surface of the oil. Fry ribbons turning once, just until golden brown.
  4. 4
    Remove with slotted spoon or skimmer and drain on paper towels.
