Flour Tortilla
1/2 cup shortening or lard
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water
1 teaspoon baking powder (optional)
Mix the flour, shortening, baking powder
and salt in a large bowl and gradually add the warm water, kneading until all of
the ingredients are blended to form a smooth ball of "masa" (dough).
Divide the masa into 10 to 12 portions the
size of eggs that are slightly flattened so that you can stack them. Place
aside, cover with a towel and let stand for about 10 to 20 minutes at room
temperature.
If you do not have a tortilla press,
lightly flour the "palote" (rolling pin) and the "mesa"
(table) or "tabla" (board) that you will use to roll out the
tortillas.
Roll each portion out to form a 6-8-inch
circle.
Cook
the tortillas on the "comal" (grille) over a medium heat, one side at
a time, to just slightly brown (about 30 to 45 seconds). Repeat the process
until all the masa is used. You may use a non-stick or cast-iron skillet if you
do not have a comal.
