Ingredients
2 cups dried field corn
1 tablespoon calcium hydroxide
8 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water (to grind the masa)
1/2 cup masa harina (optional)
Instructions
Rinse 2 cups of dried field corn in cold water. Remove any stones or struggling kernels. Add 1 tablespoon of calcium hydroxide to 8 cups of water in a non-reactive pot (I used stainless steel). Combine well. Add the corn to this mixture. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes or so, stirring occasionally. When the skins of the kernels slip off easily then it's had enough cooking time. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit overnight at room temperature. The next day (or at least 6-8 hours later) drain the corn and massage it under running cold water.
