Whole Wheat Tortillas

msarro

I just made this recipe and it makes a few more than it actually says (apparently the writer and I have differing opinions on the size of golf balls )

Seriously though, given the fact that a 10 pack of whole wheat tortillas costs about 3 dollars at the store, this will make double the tortillas for a fraction of the price.

INGREDIENTS

* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 4 cups whole wheat bread flour
* 1/2 cup shortening
* 2 teaspoons salt
* 1 1/2 cups boiling water
* all-purpose flour for rolling

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large bowl, stir together 1 cup all-purpose flour, the whole wheat flour, and salt. Rub in the shortening by hand until the mixture is the texture of oatmeal. Make a well in the center, and pour in the boiling water. Mix with a fork until all of the water is evenly incorporated. Sprinkle with a bit of additional flour, and knead until the dough does not stick to your fingers. The dough should be smooth.
2. Make balls the size of golf balls, about 2 ounces each. Place them on a tray, and cover with a cloth. Let stand for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours.
3. Heat a griddle or large frying pan over high heat. On a lightly floured surface, roll out a tortilla to your preferred thinness. Fry one at a time. Place on the griddle for 10 seconds, as soon as you see a bubble on the top, flip the tortilla over. Let it cook for about 30 seconds, then flip and cook the other side for another 30 seconds. Roll out the next tortilla while you wait for that one to cook. Repeat until all of the balls have been cooked. Tortillas can be refrigerated or frozen.

Oh just a note, even though it says fry you don't fry them - you just put them on a hot nonstick griddle.
I tried one this morning, and they're fabulous!
