Bump! Someone just suggested I look into making my own tortillas so I'm interested too.

2 c flour 1 tsp salt 1 tsp baking powder 1 tablespoon shortening or lard 1/2 to 3/4 c warm water (110*)
Mix all ingred. in a mixer (I do it by hand but cut the shortening into the dry ingred before adding the water). Let rest 15 minutes. Divide into 12 (I usually don't get this many because I like them burrito size). Roll on loured surface, cook on ungreased skillet until brown.

My husband LOVES to eat these with just better.

Low fat but fairly high in calories still because of the flour.

Thanks for this question . . . and answer!
Its always better to get a recipe from someone who has tested it and knows it works well! Im going to try variations of whole wheat flour and i tend to incorporate some of the "other" whole wheat flour that is finer (says it "acts" like white flour right on the bag). It does seem to work well and gives a lighter texture so things are not as dense by using only whole wheat. I haven't bought white flour since this has come out and I hand make much of our food.
