@MaryIsobelcongrats on your tortilla press.  If you have not made them before, I find it tricky to get the right amount of hydration so they peel off the plastic used while pressing them.  Somewhere here there is a thread on making your own and that’s where I found the perfect ratio.  300 grams Masa Hernia and 400 grams of warm water with a pinch of salt.  Mix and let sit for 20 min or so.  I then use about 35 grams dough per tortilla.

Good luck.  They are delicious.

Thank you. I had planned to search EGullet to hopefully save me same failed attemtps, so this is very helpful.
