Flour Tortilla Recipe
Prep Time: 5-10min, 30min resting in fridge, and time to roll
Cook Time: 5 mins
Ingredients:
Units: US | Metric
2 cups flour (you can get creative with your flour choices like whole wheat, spelt, soy, or a mixture of flours)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable shortening or 1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup warm water (may possibly need to add more, up to 3/4 cup) or 1/2 cup milk (may possibly need to add more, up to 3/4 cup)
Directions:
1 Sift the flour, salt & baking powder into a large mixing bowl.
2 Into the dry ingredients cut in the shortening, or add oil if you are using this option, & mix with your fingertips to combine.
3 Add the milk or water, working the liquid into the dough until a sticky ball forms.
( I replace steps 1-3 by adding all ingredients into blender, turn on and add water slowly until it turns into little balls and starts to form dough. I then tip onto bench, form dough and kneed for a few minutes.
4 Wrap in plastic and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
5 Divide the dough into 8-10 balls (for small tortillas) or 6-8 balls for larger ones, cover them again with the damp cloth.
6 Lightly dust a counter or pastry board w/flour & roll out each ball of dough into a circle or oval approximately 1/4" thick. If you want nicely rounded tortillas, trim off any ragged edges & discard. Don't roll the dough out more than once or the tortillas will be tough.
( I found, if there are two people in kitchen it's best for one to roll and the other to cook (saves lots of time). If make alone, grease proof paper between tortilla's will stops them sticking together before cooking)
7 Heat a dry griddle or heavy skillet over high heat for 5 minutes. Cook the tortillas 30 seconds on each side or until the dough looks dry & slightly wrinkled & a few brown spots form on both surfaces. Do not over cook or they will be hard. Butter and roll up and wrap in damp tea towel to keep warm as you cook the other tortillas.
8 (I place cooked ones wrapped in the damp towel in a low 200 oven to keep warm, while I am cooking the rest.) Serve warm.
