Somebody, capital Honduran BF Somebody, decided it would be a good idea if I came and learned the fine art of Honduran breadmaking with his Mom, sister-in-law and aunt this weekend*. I guess he figures the training process needs to start as soon as possible with this beautiful but oddly un-domesticated Canadian girl. Thirty-one-years old and still clueless about making tortillas and beans, nevermind the much needed bread that comes out for the much needed 3pm coffeebreak. I took a lot of pictures of this event, but strategically, didn't write any recipes down. If I remember correctly, ingredients included 1 part rice flour, 3 parts wheat flour, a lot of eggs, a lot of milk, a lot of sugar, and some baking soda (or powder...I get these confused in English, nevermind in Spanish). So, as you can see, what they call bread here (pan) is actually more like pound cake. As you can also see, I will be making trips to the bakery if need-be.
I've already established that if tortillas are going to continue to be a staple food at nearly every meal, capital Honduran BF Somebody best learn how to mix and pat that corn flour himself. I'll be happy to heat the frying pan for him. I'm pretty sure this battle ain't over yet.
