Tortilla Recipe

A few people contacted me asking for Birdie’s tortilla recipe so here it is.  Thanks Birdie.

4 cups all purpose flour
1.5 tsp salt
1.5 tsp baking powder
Mix these ingredients well.
Add
4 T lard or Crisco shortening (solid)
Cut into flour mixture.
Gradually add warm water to make dough - will be around 1 to 1.5 cups water.
Knead for several minutes. Let sit in warm room temperature for 10 minutes. Add small amount of flour only if dough is sticky.
Form egg-size balls and roll out. Cook on skillet on both sides until speckled brown.

This recipe makes between 4 - 5 dozen depending on size made. Birdie usually doubles the recipe or 1.5 the recipe. The tortillas can be frozen but make sure cooked tortillas are cooled completely before bagging.

Remember, you are loved.
