Flour Tortillas

you can adjust the flour mix to suit your individual desires and needs , keep 1/3 white flour though, if dietary needs allow as it allows for the elasticity while rolling them out. ( my own notes, the original recipe is on recipehub.com.)

 

Flour Tortillas

 

6 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons salt

1 heaping cup shortening or lard

2 cups warm water, or more

 

Sift flour and salt. Mix in bowl with lard or shortening and add water gradually. Usually it takes up to 3 cups. Knead well to make a smooth dough. Let it stand for 20 minutes in an oiled plastic bag. (Keep dough covered while making each tortilla.)

 

Make into small 2-inch balls and roll with a rolling pin on a floured board into a round disk. Cook on a hot, dry flat cast iron skillet, turning over once, until cooked on both sides to your liking.
