Two different ways of making Homemade Flour Tortillas

By


Two different ways of making Homemade Flour Tortillas

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
3 Tbsp. shortening
3/4 cup hot water more like a hot cup of coffee or a bit more hot, be careful you don't burn yourself 

Instructions


Mix flour, salt, and baking powder together with your hand. Add shortening and continue mixing until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of the mixture and add the water Slowly mix all the ingredients until the dough starts to form. Place dough on a floured surface and knead for several minutes until dough is nice and smooth. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes. Divide dough into quarters and then each quarter into thirds for a total of 12 portions. Roll out each portion into a 6-7 inch circle. Cook the tortillas in a medium to medium-high heat on a flat grill or a pan, I don't advice using an electric grill they don't heat up enough, for about two minutes on each side or until puffed or you start seeing those lightly browned spots appear. Remove to a tortilla holder or a plate and cover with a towel or in foil to keep warm. Time to Enjoy these delicious Warm Tortillas with Butter yuuuummmmmyyyy in my tuuummmmyyy

Tortillas
3 & if needed add a 1/4 c flour
2 tsp. Salt
3 tsp. Baking powder ...
1/3 c. oil
1 c. hot water, warm it up in the microwave for 2 1/2 min.
Mix the flour, salt and baking powder in a large bowl. Add the oil and water mix well until the dough forms a ball. 

 Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for 3 to 5 minutes or until dough is smooth, add a little more flour if it is too sticky. 

 Let the dough rest for 15min. Before working with it... 

 Divide the dough until you have about 16 pieces roughly the same size. Shape the dough into a small thick Frisbee-like pancake shape.

 Cover the dough pieces with a clean kitchen towel and allow them to rest for 5 minutes.

  Heat skillet or a large pan over medium-high heat. 

 Working on one at a time, roll out each dough piece on a lightly floured surface.

  Try to get them nice and thin, with each rollout rotate the dough until you have it rolled out. Place it onto the skillet or hot pan and cook for 1 minute or until a few golden brown spots appear on the underside.

  Some bubbles will also start to form on top. Flip the tortilla over and cook for another 30 seconds. If the tortillas are browning too fast, turn the heat down a little. 

 Remove the tortilla from the skillet/pan and place in foil or covered container if placing in a container let them cool if not they will sweat. 

 Repeat the steps with the remaining dough




Enjoy
