My family cooks everything by touch, I've never been able to duplicate their tortilla recipe until now. Ingredients:
4 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons salt |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 cup shortening |
1 1/4-1 1/2 cups water |
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, stir in flour, salt, and baking powder.
2. Add the shortening, the mixture should have a small mealy texture to it.
3. Make a well in the middle and pour a small amount of water at a time until the dough comes together.
4. Remove the dough from the bowl and continue to knead until it looks smooth and feels elasticy. Place in covered bowl and let rest for 10 minutes.
5. At this time, preheat ungreased griddle over medium-high heat.
6. Tear off golfball sized pieces and lightly flatten, so they don't roll.
7. Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball into a circle, thickness of a cracker.
8. Cook for each side for about 1 minute.
9. Both sides should be slightly freckled.
10. Cooking time could vary.
