FLOUR TORTILLAS

NGREDIENTS:
  • 4 c. flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 c. lard
  • 1-2 cups of HOT water (until a little sticky but not so much that your hand is caked on! lol)


PREPARATION:
1. Get the griddle going before you start this part so it will be nice and hot.  Sift all dry ingredients together and add shortening.  Mix thoroughly.  (just like you were making a pie crust.)
2. Add hot water.  Obviously you don’t want to burn yourself but the hotter you can stand it, the easier your tortilla dough will be to work with.
3. Knead until soft, smooth dough is formed.
4. Pinch off dough (a little less than the size of a golf-ball) and form into a rounded biscuit looking thing..lol.
5.  Dip into flour and roll out.
6.  Cook on your tortilla griddle.  When you see the bubbles NOT coming up, that’s when you flip or take off.
7.  Throw them in your tortilla keeper and enjoy with some Carne Guisada!..Hint:(that’s coming soon)
