Tortillas
My daughter and I made tortillas this afternoon, using a recipe we found online. I used to have a different one, but I didn't feel like looking for it.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tsp salt (I used iodized sea salt)
- 2 tsp canola oil (many tortilla recipes use more traditional fats like shortening)
-3/4 cup warm water
Mix dry ingredients.
In separate container, mix wet ingredients.
Spoon wet ingredients into dry ingredients one tablespoon at a time, using a fork to stir into dry ingredients. Will form a pebbly dough.
Knead five minutes. Let rest 20, with a damp towel.
Break into pieces and roll into balls each the size of a golf ball. I got seven.
Let rest ten minutes. Roll into circles. Fry in dry cast iron skillet for 30 seconds on each side.
