After it all comes together to form a ball reduce speed to low for another 1 min until smooth.
Transfer on a floured bench & divide up into 16 portioned balls – allow to sit for 15mins.
Use a tortilla press to flatten or a rolling pin to make your tortillas.
In a large fry pan add a little spray oil & cook tortillas on both sides.

Fish:

Prepare your crumbing station. One plate with flour & season with a good pinch of salt & white pepper.
In a large bowl whisk eggs & milk together.
Then on a plate sprinkle out your panko breadcrumbs.
Then crumb your fish fillets.
Heat up oil to about 170-180 degrees or if you don’t have a deep fryer with temperature control, a large pot on the stove on medium to high heat.
Once oil is at heat, deep fry the pieces of fish, try not to over crowd the basket or pot of oil – cook for about 2 mins or until golden brown – remove from oil & drain on some paper towels & then sprinkle with some salt.
