Oh... one more thing! Cassava flour is amazing stuff.  Make tortillas with it, using baker's math, do 80% hydration + 20% fat.  So, 100g cassava flour, 80g water, 20g fat (duck, coconut, lard, butter, olive oil, ghee, etc).  Or.. was it 60% hydration plus 20% fat?  I forget, sorry.  But I think both should work.  Mix up, let rest a little wrapped in plastic, divide, smush out, roll on parchment, and dry-fry for some amazingly decadent tortillas.  It helps if the liquid/fat is heated to HOT or even boiling, but not necessary.  Be careful, cassava is extremely calorie rich... 🤤
