Flour Tortillas Recipe

by CookEatShare Cookbook

Ingredients

3 c. unsifted flour 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. baking pwdr

1/3 c. lard 1 c. water

Directions

1. Combine flour, salt and baking pwdr in a large bowl. Cut in lard with a pastry blender till coarse crumbs form. Add in water.
2. Mix lightly with a fork till the dough clings together. Using your hands, gather dough and knead in the bowl for about 3 min. Cover bowl with a towel. Let rise 1/2 hour.
3. Divide the dough into 10 to 12 small balls. Roll the dough into a thin 12" circle on a lightly floured work surface. Stack tortillas with wax paper between each one as they are rolled.
4. Lightly grease a very large heavy skillet or possibly griddle. Place tortillas one at a time onto griddle, pressing here and there with a wadded paper towel to make bubbles or possibly blisters which give the tortilla lightness.
5. Cook till tortilla turns golden on both sides (turning once). Keep in plastic bag while baking the remaining tortillas.
6. These are ideal for making ahead and freezing. Freeze in a plastic bag with waxed paper between.
7. To reheat: Place on griddle till soft and pliable or possibly steam slightly till hot.
