Flour Tortillas

Source of Recipe


I made this up myself.






List of Ingredients



• 4 cups of all purpose flour
  
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  
• 1 1/2 cups warm water
  
• 1 1/2 tsp salt or No Salt salt
  
• 4 TBLS shortening (Crisco) or lard
  






Instructions



1. Put all of the dry ingerdients in a bowl.
   
   
2. Cut in the shortening adding a small amount of water at a time to make the dough.
   
   
3. Knead the dough until it is elastic and has no lumps.
   
   
4. Set this aside with a cover for about 10-15 minutes. Depending on how hungry you are. :-)
   
   
5. Then take some dough and roll into a ball with your palms. The larger the ball, the larger the tortilla will be.
   
   
6. On a floured surface, roll out your tortilla to the size you want. About 1/8" is great!
   
   
7. Heat your ungreased skillet on medium high and cook until the tortilla is speckled, about 2-3 minutes for each one.
   
   
8. Serve right away, or freeze for later in freezer plastic bags.
   
   
9. *HINT* Use wax paper between frozen tortillas.
   
   
10. FROZEN: You can reheat just like regular. Skillet or microwave to heat up, approx. 1 minute for about 6 tortillas.
