- Delicious Home Made Flour Tortillas
- Main ingredients (not the wine) Were making about 40, 6
inch-sized tortillas for dinner for six, so cut all measurements
accordingly for the number you want to try.
- 6 cups of flour. Make a crater in the middle of the flour and
add: 2 tablespoons of baking powder; 1 tablespoons of salt; cup
vegetable oil; 1 cup warm water (to start). Start mixing by
hand
- Add warm water as needed Keep mixing by hand. For this amount
of mix we ended up adding about 2 cups of water.
- Mix for consistency Mix until good homogeneous ball sort of
like bread dough or clay.
- Bowl is spotless Place the mix on flat surface.
- Knead by hand Roll and knead until thoroughly mixed and
consistent. Really hard on the hands
- Finished
- Pinch ball up through thumb and index finger Pinch from
different parts of the ball of dough. When surface is used, knead
again and pinch the rest until gone.
- Flatten the Balls Flatten slightly to about 3 inch diameter for
rolling
- Start rolling with the rolling pin Tortilla ends up about 7-8
inches diameter. If things get a little sticky add a dusting of
flour to the roller or board.
- Ready to cook The placa or pan should already be very hot
- The Placa You can use a pan also. The first two or three are to
get the temperature right for the rest of the batch.
- Perfect Tortillas start to bubble on the up side and the bottom
browns a bit then flip like a pancake.
- Start the pile Wrap the pile in the towel to maintain heat and
moisture. This is a lot or work and you may have to experiment a
couple of times. BUT when using regular, flat store-bought
tortillas, we may use half as many for dinner, with these there was
not one left after dinner!
