Recipe: Never Fail Homemade Flour Tortillas

Breads - Assorted
NEVER FAIL FLOUR TORTILLAS

"These tortillas have a "puffy" texture, similar to the wraps used in some restaurant sandwiches. Make sure to keep them covered after baking on the griddle to keep them soft."

3 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/3 cup shortening
1 cup warm milk (105 to 115 degrees F)

Combine first 3 ingredients; stir well. Cut in shortening with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in milk, mixing well. Turn dough out onto a smooth surface; knead about 3 minutes.

Divide dough into 10 equal portions. Roll each with a rolling pin into a very thin circle, about 8 inches in diameter, turning dough and rolling on both sides.

Heat an ungreased skillet over medium heat; cook tortillas about 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned, being careful not to let tortillas wrinkle. Pat tortillas lightly with spatula while browning the second side. Serve hot.

Makes 10 tortillas
