Directions
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Stir in water and oil.
- Divide dough into 8 portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 7-in.
- In a greased cast-iron or other heavy skillet, cook tortillas over medium heat until lightly browned, 1 minute on each side. Serve warm.
Why do my homemade flour tortillas come out hard? If the comal is not hot enough when you start cooking, the tortillas may come out hard. Or you may need to knead longer to release the glutens. See step above on how long to knead for and the cooking times.
It might be that the tortilla is too thin and it turns into something more akin to a crisp than a soft, pliable wrap. It could also be that you are making your tortillas too thick, trying to avoid the previous issue.
Why It Works. Lard gives these tortillas a subtle porky flavor, but vegetable shortening can be substituted if needed. Baking powder creates the bready, chewy texture.
when the moisture leaves, the air inside the tortilla collapses. Chewy and raw taste. They are made in the mornings while we have coffee and BS. Then we wrap them in foil until use .
Just be careful not to over knead the dough. The dough will be sticky when you are done mixing it. Add just enough flour to be able to handle the dough. It should still be tacky while you knead it.
Although lard is the traditional fat used in authentic Mexican flour tortillas, you can use almost any type of fat. Substitute shortening, butter or canola oil for the lard.
Divide the dough into 12 portions and roll each into a ball. Set them on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and let rest at least 30 minutes (to make the dough less springy, easier to roll). Roll and griddle-bake the tortillas.
Translucency indicates areas that are more doughy, receiving less heat during processing. They typically occur near dark spots — the tops of large air bubbles that were exposed to the hot griddle or oven hearth for a longer time.
Heat an electric nonstick griddle to 375 degrees F. Put the tortillas, 2 to 3 at a time, onto the griddle and cook until light golden, about 4 minutes per side.
You can use leftover tortillas to make French toast, baked cups for dip, or crispy wrappers for vegetables.
