Corn Cihips

[Deeau]

Could you put this through a pasta machine to get the desired thicknss?

[Nay-nay]

I guess so - I haven't got one but it sounds like a good idea. Let us know if you try it.

Now the pasta machine is a great idea!

I'm so glad this recipe is here.  DH has been asking about corn chips in the TMX.  We have a pasta roller so I'll give this a try today and report back.

Assuming I've done everything correctly ( ) I would not bother with the pasta roller.  Polenta is too grainy for it to hold together when being pushed through the rollers.  Much easier with baking paper and a rolling pin (and besides, my rolling pin is much closer to hand than my pasta roller  ).  That may change now I have a Thermomix though 

My corn chips are baking in the oven now and I can't wait to try them.  I know DH will be thrilled to try some tonight when he gets home from work (he loves a midnight snack on Tuesday nights when he works late).

It is grainy. I made these last week they are yummy. They remind me of cheds those cheese biscuits. I used the pasta roller but I did roll them first with the rolling pin. The mix is delicate

Thanks for the information. I plan to make them today or tomorrow.

Made these tonight for nacho's with the chilli con carne. I didn't add the cheese, mustard and paprika as there was plenty of flavour in the rest of the dish. I found rolling them easy with the Thermomat and baking paper. They were nice and think. I will make these again and use the advice provided here of letting them dry in the oven. I found that some weren't crunchy enough, but if I'd cooked them longer the others would have been burnt. Just trial and error with my oven at the moment. I'm going to love making these compared to store bought corn chips.

Whoops!! - forgot to attach piccy!! 

Oh yummo I'll have what you're having

Just a thought.....a tortilla press would make them nice and flat

[Deeau]

Maddy I bought a tortilla press home from the states last year and have not yet been able to buy masa flour where I live so it has not yet been used.....might have to try this!

Deeau, Monterey Mexican Foods sell it, along with all things Mexican.

I tried to go to that site Maddy cos I'm super keen for a tortilla press!  But I get a message saying its a suspected malware site - do you think its safe, or know anywhere else I can purchase one? 

These chips look amazing!

[meganjane]

I get a message saying the site is closed. I'd love a tortilla press!
