Gluten Free Flour Tortillas Recipes

Steps:

• First mix all the dry ingredients into a bowl.
• Add the wet ingredients and mix well.
• Pour 1/3 a cup of the mixture into a good nonstick medium sized frying pan (I have also made these on a griddle but that requires picking up the griddle and tilting it to make larger rounds). Tilt the pan in alternating directions to cover the bottom of the pan.
• Cook on medium-high heat until the edges begin to pull up from the pan. You will need to pull up on the edge (fingers work better than a spatula - but be careful) and flip the tortilla. If the tortilla breaks try cooking it longer before flipping or you may need to use non-stick spray on the pan.
• Flip the tortilla ever 2 minutes or so until it puffs up like a balloon. After each tortilla you will need to let the pan cool down a little before starting the next one(Otherwise you get holes in the tortillas - you can use 3 pans and alternate between them).
• Let the tortillas cool for 10 minutes or so and they will become flimsy.

Steps:

• Combine all of the dry ingredients, then cut in or work in the shortening using a pastry blender or two knives or your hand.
• Add the warm water, starting with 3/4 cup and mix well.
• Continue to add water until a soft, cohesive dough is formed.
• Heat a comal, tapa or griddle to medium heat. Then, form a ball of dough into a flattened disk, cupping the outside edges a bit to form a round.
• Dust a work surface with corn starch and, esing a bollilo or rolling pin, roll into a round disk about 1/8 inch thick and about 8 inches in diameter or to your preference.
• Bake one at a time on a hot griddle until the surface bubbles. Turn only once, the first side should have brown flecks.
• Bake until the second side has slightly browned - should brown in a very short time.
• Keep warm in a tortilla keeper or wrapped in a cloth until served.
