Whole Wheat Tortillas! Brooke found


Make them fresh yourself and see the difference! Makes 4 large or 6 small tortillas.

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cup finely ground whole wheat flour
3 T. shortening (or lard, like in Mexico)
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 c. warm water


Preparation:

With a hand beater or mixer, blend all ingredients except water until it resembles a course meal. When well combined, slowly add water until soft dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes.
Separate into 6 portions for small tortillas or 4 portions for large tortillas.
Roll and flip roll and flip until you have a nice round 1/8'' thick.
Place on a very hot preheated griddle or skillet and brown on each side.
Adjust size for burritos, tacos etc.
