Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt -- or sea salt
1/2 cup vegetable shortening -- or lard
3/4 cup warm water
Make your favorite flour tortillas from scratch in this easy recipe,
which calls for basic ingredients that may already be in your pantry.
Total: 45 min
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt for
20 seconds. Pinch vegetable shortening into the flour mixture or use
a pastry cutter until incorporated. The mixture will be crumbly.
Start with 3/4 cup of water and mix into the flour mixture to form a
semi-smooth dough ball. If necessary, add more water 1 tablespoon at
a time until dough binds together into a semi-smooth ball (dough
should form easily into a ball but not be sticky). Knead 15 times or
until ball is smooth. Let dough rest for 15 minutes.
Pinch off 1" balls of dough. Form into tight balls, and then flatten
into fat discs. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a griddle, comal (a smooth rounded griddle) or large skillet
over medium heat. Place the raw tortilla on the pan and cook until it
puffs and starts to brown, about 30 seconds, flip over, press down
with a spatula, and then cook for another 30 seconds, or until the
second side is browned.
Place tortilla on a plate and cover with a towel. Repeat with the
remaining dough balls.
