I struggled a lot with tortillas that tasted like paste or turned into hockey pucks until I found this fail proof recipe. These tortillas are easy and delicious! Ingredients:
6 1/2 cups flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
2 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 cup shortening |
2 cups very hot water |
butter |
Directions:
1. Mix together dry ingredients.
2. Cut in shortening.
3. Stir in two cups very hot water.
4. On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 2 minutes.
5. Place in a bowl, cover with a dish towel, and let sit for 30 minutes.
6. Knead dough and form into balls.
7. Roll them out as thin and round as possible.
8. Preheat a griddle or cast-iron skillet.
9. Slather the skillet with butter - (yes, I see other people recommend an ungreased baking surface but I like to slather mine with butter).
10. Cook tortillas one at a time, flipping when a bubble forms.
11. I then like to slather the cooked tortillas with additional butter because it makes them taste yummy.
