Homemade Flour Tortillas...

 There's just something about

 the aroma of homemade tortillas!

It gets your tummy's rumbling!

The whole kitchen just comes to life 

when a mama is creating and exploring new recipes.

I love homemade flour tortillas!

It's one of those recipes that I have had for years

and when I have the time, I make up a whole

 bunch and store them in the freezer

for future meals and snacks!

I hope you give them a try

(You might even never buy store bought one's again)

Homemade Flour Tortillas

2 cups Flour

1 Tbsp. Baking Powder

1 tsp. Salt

2 Tbsp. Lard or Shortening

1 cup Water

Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. 

 Cut in the lard or shortening, until pea size crumbles form.

 Add in the water about a 1/4 cup at a time.

 Stir well, until moistened.  

Knead the dough until a firm dough is formed.  

Now form into small balls and flatten 

into a circle with a rolling pin.

Grill on an non-greased frying pan

 or cast iron skillet until browned.

This recipe will make about 10 small tortillas.

These taste wonderful with melted butter 

and sprinkled with some cinnamon sugar!

Yummy-licious!!!

Have a wonderful day!
