FLOUR TORTILLAS
My husband's all-time favorite cuisine is Mexican and one taco night a long time ago we realized we were out of tortillas! So he started making them and we fell in love with homemade tortillas instantly. They are so soft and chewy and totally addictive. I'm always sure to make a huge batch of these because I can't resist eating some right off of the pan (with a little butter and salt!) before dinner is ready.

Steps:
- Combine the flour, salt and sugar in a medium bowl. Add the shortening or oil and mix until mealy. Stir in 3/4 cup water to form a dough. Turn it out onto a surface and knead, adding more flour if needed, until a smooth, slightly sticky dough is formed, 5 to 7 minutes. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a towel and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. (Full disclosure: When we're hungry, we skip this step. But letting the dough rest does make it easier to roll these out.)
- Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and roll them out on a lightly-floured surface until they're really thin, keeping the remaining dough balls covered. I like a 1/16- or 1/8-inch thickness but wouldn't turn down a 3/16-inch-thick one. Cook them in the skillet on both sides until they're just starting to show some brown spots, 45 seconds to 1 minute per side. Keep warm in a towel until ready to serve.

I usually have to double this flour tortilla recipe because we go through them so quickly. The homemade tortillas are so tender and chewy, you'll never use store-bought again after learning how to make tortillas. -Kristin Van Dyken, Kennewick, Washington

Steps:
- Whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Mix in the lard with your fingers until the flour resembles cornmeal. Add the water and mix until the dough comes together; place on a lightly floured surface and knead a few minutes until smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Use a well-floured rolling pin to roll a dough ball into a thin, round tortilla. Place into the hot skillet, and cook until bubbly and golden; flip and continue cooking until golden on the other side. Place the cooked tortilla in a tortilla warmer; continue rolling and cooking the remaining dough.

Steps:
- Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until tiny bubbles start to form around the edges of the pan (the milk should be 180 degrees F), 4 to 5 minutes. Immediately remove from the heat and stir in the lard until melted. Let cool for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl until completely combined. Pour in the warm milk mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
- When cool enough to handle, knead the dough in the bowl until almost completely smooth, about 3 minutes; do not overwork, the dough should be soft and only slightly elastic and not sticky. Wrap in plastic and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour to relax dough.
- Divide the dough into 16 balls about a scant 3 tablespoons each (or 46g.). Arrange the balls on a rimmed baking sheet and cover with a damp kitchen towel until ready to use.
- Working with one dough ball at a time, roll out on a lightly floured surface to a 7-inch round.
- Heat a medium cast-iron skillet or large griddle over medium-high heat.
- Working with one at a time (unless using a large griddle), cook the tortillas, reducing the heat if they are getting dark too quickly, until air bubbles form on the surface and the bottom is brown in spots, about 30 seconds. Poke any large bubbles with a fork to release steam, flip the tortillas and cook until brown in spots on the other side, about 30 seconds. Stack and wrap the tortillas in a clean kitchen towel and keep warm. Repeat rolling and cooking the remaining dough balls.

- Using a stand mixer to knead the doughPlace the flour, salt, baking powder, butter into the stand mixer bowl and add 1 ½ cups of hot water.Attach the dough hook and start the machine on low speed. Knead for about 30 seconds, if the dough looks dry add some or all of the remaining ¼ cup water..Continue to knead the dough until it looks soft and smooth – it will come together quite quickly. Occasionally stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Divide the dough into 18 even sized pieces.Shape into balls, and coat in flour by dipping each ball into the extra flour, shake off any excess. Place on the bench and cover the balls with a damp paper towel and allow to rest for 15 minutes.Roll out each ball into a thin circle, there is no need to flour the bench or rolling pin as the balls have already been dipped into flour.Tip: Roll out five balls then start cooking and continue to roll and cook until you have done all 18.
- Dry fry the tortillas in a large fry pan, preferably a heavy cast iron pan – it retains the heat better. You will have to experiment to get the correct temperature. The heat needs to be low to medium-low, just hot enough for it to cook in a few minutes on each side without burning.Before placing the tortillas in the fry pan, shake off any excess flour, as this will burn and “dirty” your tortillas. When you are cooking, if you do notice loose flour in the pan wipe it out before adding the next one.As the dough cooks, air pockets inside the dough will cause it to puff up and it will start to look cooked, at this stage check underneath it should be slight coloured in some places. Flip over and cook the top for a minute or two.Transfer to a plate and continue cooking the rest.Tip: To keep the tortillas warm, pile the tortillas on top of each other and wrap in foil that is lined with absorbent paper.

- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt., Add the lard (or butter, or shortening; if you're using vegetable oil, add it in step 3).
- Coating most of the flour with fat inhibits gluten formation, making the tortillas easier to roll out., Pour in the lesser amount of hot water (plus the oil, if you're using it), and stir briskly with a fork or whisk to bring the dough together into a shaggy mass.
- Stir in additional water as needed to bring the dough together., Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured counter and knead briefly, just until the dough forms a ball.
