Homemade Tortillas
Practice makes progress.
The first time I made tortillas from scratch it was tricky. I couldn’t get the thinness right. They were a tad thick and gummy.
These tortillas are 👌
I used:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of sea salt
Half a cup of water
3 tablespoons of butter at room temp
I mixed with my hands in a shallow steel bowl. Until it no longer stuck to my hands or the bowl.
I let it rest, covered, while I put away laundry, checked on the chickens, and peeked at the greenhouse.
I floured the counter, rolled the dough into a log, and cut it into eight (approximately) equal pieces.
I used my cast iron skillet. My electric oven was on 3-5 the whole time.
Working one by one, I flattened the individual ball with my palm, pressed it flatter in the center, and then rolled them out.
I cooked the dough, while rolling the next one, keeping my eye on it and turning them every so often.
There ya go- homemade tortillas 😋
