Pour the corn flour and the pinch of salt into a large bowl and slowly add the hot water, bringing the dough together with your hands. Add enough hot water until you get an elastic dough with the consistency of Playdough. You may need more or less water than the recipe states.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about an hour.
Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes.
Sprinkle corn flour on a wooden work surface. Make a small ball of dough and put it in the center of the work surface.
Slap the dough, adding more flour when necessary, until you have a thin tortilla (talo).
Slide the talo into a hot frying pan or electric grill and cook each side until it starts to brown and bubble.
Enjoy with your favorite filling. Wwe recommend crispy fried chistorra sausage!

I've found yellow corn flour in health food shops in Madrid. A finely ground corn meal should do the trick!
Be sure to add the right amount of water to the dough. Too little and it will be too dry; too much, and it will be sticky. Go by the feel of the dough and not only by the amount of water.
