Flour Tortillas
Ingredients
- 2 cup flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup shortening
- 3/4 cup warm water
Instructions
Mix dry ingredients together. Cut in shortening (I usually use just a little bit more that 1/4 cup - too much and the texture goes off). Add warm water slowly, allow dough to form and knead for 5 minutes or so. Allow dough to rest for 15-30 minutes Form into golfball or small sized balls. Allow to rest another 15-30 minutes. I use an electric tortilla press but you can also roll them out the old fashion way. Once rolled out, heat in electric skillet for approx 30-60 secs per side. Should get slightly brown.
