Some creative recipes using tortilla maseca as the main ingredient include tamales, pupusas, gorditas, and sopes.
Yes, high-lime Maseca does exist. It is a type of Maseca corn flour that has been treated with a higher amount of lime during processing. This treatment is done to increase the calcium level and adjust the pH, which can affect the taste and texture of the final product.
Yes. Yes it is :)
no it's not all purpose flour..
Maseca is a specific brand of masa harina, which is a type of corn flour made from dried corn that has been treated with lime (a process called nixtamalization). While it is a corn flour, it's distinct from regular corn flour, which is made from whole corn kernels and typically has a different texture and flavor. Maseca is primarily used for making tortillas and other traditional Mexican dishes. So, while they are related, they are not the same.
its allready cooked to release the sugar ,,just add yeast ,water,yeast likes to be warm...
You can store it in the freezer in a large ziplock freezer bag, to prevent weevils from getting into it. It should be fine for at least a year; I've had some ground flax in the freezer for at least 2 years that still tastes fine.
No you might want to check for bugs and if its open throw it away!!
Sure, just subsitute same amount rice flour for corn flour. You can also use corn startch (aka 'corn flour' in europe) to make a lighter textured short bread - sub 1/4 corn startch for regular flour used. You might also try using straight Maseca (mexican corn meal) to make the short bread, it comes out very sweet and tender.
Every single food dish in Mexico is famous there really isn't a dish that's not famous. Some examples are:Tacos of Carne asada, al pastor, cabeza or lengua you choose. There is also Mole Poblano which is sweet or Mole Ranchero which is spicy. You also have Posole which can be made from pork or chicken your choice. Quesadillas made from corn maseca and then fried. Tamales made with chicken,pork,red or green sauce. There is also Enchiladas made from chicken, frijoles fritos (Fried Beans), potato or cheese with onions. There is also Chilaquiles made from tortilla eggs and onion with red pepper chilly sauce. How can you forget Carnitas, Sopes and Birria. Just about anything that you can think of is a famous Mexican dish. There are many more dishes but I can't name them all it would take all of the space left.

I would not recommend it. Especially if you are cooking something sweet such as cookies or a cake! It isn't going to give things the same taste or texture. Everything will taste more like cornbread instead.
