12 texas skillet Recipes

ingredients : inspired by the homesick texan and adapted from the border cookbook by cheryl alters jamison and bill jamison, all-purpose flour ( you can substitute some whole wheat flour), baking powder, salt, vegetable oil ( i used 1 tbsp), warm milk, i made this dough in my food processor , but you can also make it using a mixer , or even by hand., in a food processor (or mixing bowl), mix together the flour, baking powder and salt., slowly add the warm milk and oil. knead until it forms a ball., if need be , add a bit more milk especially if your dough is too stiff. knead for an additional 2 minutes., dough should be soft and supple., place dough in a bowl and cover plastic wrap for 20 minutes. form into 8 balls., dough should be soft and supple.heat skillet on high and then lower to medium/low and place the tortilla to cook for thirty seconds on each side. it should puff a bit and form bubbles., i like to sort of press on the tortilla so that the whole tortilla gets golden brown spots rather than than just the few bubbles that make contact with the skillet., keep cooked tortillas covered ...this will help them to not dry out. you can easily freeze the tortillas, especially if you double or triple the recipe.
