Ingredients:
4 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup lard (Yes, this says lard. I know it can turn some people off but you shouldn't be afraid to give it a try. If you think of it like vegetable shortening you will be just fine.)
1-2 cups of HOT water (until a little sticky but not so much that your hand is caked on! lol)
Directions:
1. Get the griddle going before you start this part so it will be nice and hot. Sift all dry ingredients together and add shortening. Mix thoroughly. (Just as though you were making a pie crust.)
2. Add hot water. (Obviously you don’t want to burn yourself, but the hotter you can stand it, the easier your tortilla dough will be to work with.)
3. Knead until soft, smooth dough is formed.
4. Pinch off dough (a little less than the size of a golf-ball) and form into a rounded biscuit looking thing..lol.
5. Dip into flour and roll out.
6. Cook on your tortilla griddle. When you see the bubbles not coming up, that’s when you flip or take off.
7. Throw them in your tortilla keeper and keep warm.
So cooking with lard isn't your thing... don't worry; below is a recipe that is perhaps a little less authentic but also make delicious tortillas and uses only food storage ingredients which is a definite plus when you are reading a food storage blog, right?
