As I've been trying more and more to make our own bread, this week I ventured into tortilla making.
It's so easy!
Here's what you need:
2 c. whole wheat flour
1 tsp. salt
1/4 c. shortening (could use lard or butter)
3/4 c. water
Sprinkle of flax seed
One
Measure your dry ingredients into a bowl
Two
Add in your shortening
and mix til crumbly
Three
Add in water and let your mixer do the hard work. Let it knead at a medium speed for a couple of minutes.
Four
Your dough should look like this
Five
Divide dough into eight balls
Let balls rest for 10 minutes covered with a tea towel.
Six
Make sure you have a hot skillet
Seven
Roll out each ball to a very thin circlish figure
Homemade tortillas definitely *look* homemade in my kitchen...
Eight
Place tortilla onto hot skillet, cooking each side until you see bubbles. Then flip.
Nine
Tada! Hot, fresh, healthy-ish tortillas!
Ole'!
Have you ever made homemade tortillas?
Are you going to give it a try?
