Masa bites

1. Place milk, eggs, salt, and sugar with the tortillas in a food processor, and pulse until chunky paste is achieved.
2. Move to a mixing bowl and stir in the butter. Work fast to prevent melting.
3. Pour oil into a 6-quart Dutch oven and heat to 375°F.
4. Roll tortilla mixture into 1 to 1½-inch balls. Fry, 6–8 at a time, until crisp and golden brown, about 2–3 minutes.
