I wanted tortillas to go with tonight's dinner but was out of them. So I went searching for a recipe that did not contain any fat. I found this one, and tweaked it a bit, in one of my favorite cookbooks 500 Fat Free Recipes. My husband could not get enough of them. We dipped them into soup and made bean burritos out of them. Ingredients:
3 cups whole wheat pastry flour |
1 -1 1/2 cup water |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl combine the flour and 1 cup of water.
2. Mix well.
3. If it needs more water to get to a dough stage, then add.
4. On a floured surface knead the dough until it is soft.
5. Make it into balls (12-16 depending on size).
6. Then flour a board well.
7. Take each ball and roll it as flat as you can.
8. Meanwhile heat a pan until it is quite hot.
9. Place the rolled out tortilla in the pan and cook for about 45 seconds to 1 minute or until it is bubbling and starting to brown.
10. Then turn it over and cook for another 45 seconds.
11. Place a clean cotton dishtowel on a plate.
12. As each tortilla comes out of the pan put it inside the towel and wrap them up.
13. I got 16 tortillas but my pan is small.
14. If you want bigger tortillas, make bigger balls of dough.
