Homemade Tortillas!

Flour Tortilla's

By: Kassi Hill

Once you try these homemade tortillas you will never want to buy plain ole' store bought ever again! 

That's a promise. 

The first time I made these my husband said "so will you have a fresh plate of these every day when I come home from work?" (he was serious!) Funny thing is, they are so easy and so fast to do, I can very well have them ready everyday! 

Prep time: 8-10 minutes. Sitting time: 30 minutes Cook time: 2 mins per tortilla

Yields about 12 tortillas. 

Ingredients:

-3  Cups un-bleached flour

-1/2 tea baking powder

-1 teaspoon salt

-1/3 cup canola oil

-1 cup very hot water

Steps

1- add flour, baking powder and salt to large bowl. Mix with a whisk. 

2- add 1/3 cup oil to flower. Use fingers to mix together until it is crumbly and well mixed. 

3-add 1 cup of hot water, use a spoon or whisk. After it is well mixed. Use hands to make sure all the flower is mixed in then form a ball.

4- let is sit for half an hour (or you can refrigerate it over night). Leave it covered with a slightly damp cloth.

5-after it sits form 12 balls about the size of a golf ball. 

6-Turn your stove on to very hot. Castiron works best, but a normal pan will work fine. Let it heat up.

7-on a slightly floured surface use a rolling pin to flatten the tortillas. They wont always make a perfect circle, but practice makes perfect!

8-place the flattened tortilla on the hot pan. Cook each side till bubbles form. Make sure both sides get cooked fully. 

9-repeat until all of the tortillas are rolled and cooked! ENJOY!

**You can refrigerate any leftover tortillas in a gallon bag, but keep it unzipped or they will become too moist. Reheat on a pan & enjoy warm!**
