Flour Tortillas
Sounds pretty straight forward, I must give this a try as store bought are expensive! I cannot judge the quantity of tortillas that this makes until I try this, supposedly it is 12.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup oil, or real lard
- ⅔ cup warm water
Instructions
- Combine ingredients to form a dough. Cover dough with plastic wrap or foil and allow to rest for 30 minutes.
- Divide into 12 portions and roll each into a ball. Press into a thin flat circle using a tortilla press or roll out with a rolling pin until approximately 1/8 inch thick. (This step does not sound right and will verify when I make these.)
- Lightly brush a heated heavy cast iron pan with oil and wipe off any excess oil, then cook tortillas until crisp on both sides, turning once. Stack between paper napkins or towels and keep warm until all are done.
- Stuff with your favorite fillings and serve right away or wrap tightly with wax or parchment paper between layers and freeze for up to 6 months.
