Step by Step Flour Tortillas Recipe 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.
