Tortilla Puff Tip 2: Compression
You don’t technically need a thinly-pressed tortilla for a puff. Look no further than a gordita, for example; this thick masa pancake will puff like a tortilla under the right conditions. But steady, even compression allows steam to build and expand outwards. We like to press the ball of masa once (don’t forget a liner!), then flip and rotate before pressing again to ensure that it’s perfectly even. Watch to the end for our favorite puff hack.
