Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder -- (use 1 teaspoon for
thinner tortilla)
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup shortening -- See Note
3/4 cup hot water
1 5/8 ounces pasta sauce -- (1 pkg), mix dried (optional)
Note: (you can use anywhere between 3 Tablespoons to 1/2 a cup - 1/4
cup works well) or 1/2 cup lard (you can use anywhere between 3
Tablespoons to 1/2 a cup - 1/4 cup works well)
By Hand:
Combine the flour, baking powder,salt, and optional dried pasta sauce
mix. Either by hand or with a pastry cutter, cut in the shortening
till the mixture is crumbly. If the mixture looks more floury than
crumbly, be sure to add just one or two more tablespoons of
shortening till it is crumbly. Add about 3/4 cup hot water to the
mixture, or just enough to make the ingredients look moist.
With your hand or a large fork, knead the mixture making sure to rub
the dough against the sides of the large mixing bowl to gather any
clinging dough. If the dough still sticks to the side of the bowl,
add a couple more tablespoons of flour until the dough forms a soft
round shape. The dough is ready to roll out now, but it is best to
let it rest. Cover it with a dish towel, and let it sit for about an
hour or so.
Take the dough, and pull it apart into 10 to 12 balls. Lightly flour
your rolling area, and roll each ball with a rolling pin to about
1/8" thickness.
Place each tortilla on a medium hot cast iron skillet. Cook for about
1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla does not look doughy.
Bread Machine:
Combine flour, baking powder,optional dried pasta sauce mix, and salt
in bread machine. Cut shortening into pieces about the size of
olives, and drop inches.
Start mix cycle and slowly add tap water. Let cycle run five or six
minutes, then stop machine.
Remove dough from bread machine, cover with a warm wet towel and let
sit for 15 minutes, so dough can relax. (Do not skip this step or
dough will be difficult to form into tortillas.).
Pinch off egg-sized pieces of dough and roll into balls. Use a
rolling pin to roll them into thin rounds.
Heat a dry cast-iron skillet to medium. Transfer tortillas to skillet
and cook until spots on the bottom are dark brown. Flip tortillas and
cook on second side until spots are dark brown.
Serve immediately. Keep warm in the folds of a kitchen towel if necessary.
