There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

1¼ cups amaranth flour
½ cup water
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp chili powder

  1. In a small bowl, mix the amaranth flour, salt and chili powder.
  2. Stir in water, then evaluate the consistency.
  3. The dough should be soft, but not wet, and mold easily into shapes.
  4. The dough will easily form a ball as you stir it.
  5. If necessary, add a bit more flour or water to achieve the proper consistency.
  6. Pinch off balls of dough the size of golf balls.
  7. Roll them in additional flour to coat well.
  8. Knead each ball a bit as you pat or roll it into a flat circle that's about ⅛" thick and 5" to 6" across.
  9. Repeat with all dough.
  10. Heat a heavy nonstick frying pan or griddle. Use no oil.
  11. Place each tortilla in the hot pan, and cook for a few minutes on each side.
  12. Tortillas should become lightly brown and start to appear dry. Cool on wire racks.
