Flour Tortillas

Makes:

8-10 tortillas

Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp salt

• 1/4 tsp baking powder

• 1/4 cup melted butter

• 1/4 cup bacon fat

• 3/4 cup warm water

Preparation

• Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl.

• Mix in butter and bacon fat until it resembles coarse crumbs.

• Gradually add warm water until the dough forms.

• Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding flour if sticky. Cover and rest for 10 minutes.

• Divide the dough into 8-10 balls, cover, and let rest for 15-30 minutes.

• Roll each ball into a thin circle (8-10 inches).

• Cook each tortilla in a hot skillet for about 30 seconds per side until bubbly and lightly browned.

• Keep cooked tortillas warm under a towel and repeat with remaining dough.

Serve warm with creamed honey or your favorite dish.


Here are some creative tortilla ideas to try:

▪︎ Herbed Tortillas: Add finely chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or chives to the dough for extra flavor.

▪︎ Whole Wheat Tortillas: Use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose for a nuttier taste and more fiber.

▪︎ Spicy Tortillas: Mix in cayenne pepper or chili powder for a spicy kick, perfect for tacos or wraps.

▪︎ Cheesy Tortillas: Incorporate shredded cheese into the dough for a cheesy twist that complements any filling.
