Ingredients: 3 cups unbleached flour
2 tsp!. baking powder
1 tsp!. salt
4-6 Tbsp!. vegetable shortening or lard
about 1 1/4 cups warm water
Instructions: Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl!.
Add vegetable shortening or lard!. Or use a combination of half lard, half shortening!.
Use a fork or a pastry cutter to cut in the shortening or just do it the old fashioned
way and use your hands!.
Next add warm water a little at a time until your dough is soft and not sticky!. You do
not need very hot water!.
Knead the dough for a few minutes!.
Now you will pull off pieces of dough to form about 12 small dough balls!. Let them
rest for at least 10 minutes, longer if you like!.
This is a good time to heat up the comal!. You will want to set it at medium to high
heat!. If it is too hot the tortillas will cook too fast!.
Now you can roll out the dough with your tortilla rolling pin or palote!. It is a good
idea to dust each ball with a little flour just before you roll them out!. Lay the palote
in the center of the dough ball and roll up, center and roll down!. It is good to lift the
dough and turn it!. Again, rolling pin in the center and roll!. Roll them out fairly thin!.
Lay your tortilla on the hot comal!. It takes just a few seconds to cook!. Flip to the other
side!. When they are done it should have lots of nice brown speckles!. Place them in a
towel!. If you would like you can use a tortilla warmer to keep them warm longer!.
They are ready to be served!Www@FoodAQ@Com

The job is easier if you have a helper manning the skillet while you're rolling!. My problem is that they end up amoeba-shaped, so we call 'em tortillameobas!. *LOL* Once you've done it, you won't want store-bought ever again!. Here's a highly-ranked recipe:Www@FoodAQ@Com
