TORTILLAS

TORTILLAS
Patti Raney came and showed us how to make these at YW.  Need to use dutch oven pan (no oil).  Took about an hour+ start to finish.

Cut together:
4 cups sifted flour
6 T shortening or margarine

Mix until dough is soft:
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup warm water

Divide dough into 15 -18 egg size balls.  Let is stand for 5-10 minutes.  Heat griddle (medium high) - do not grease.  Dust board or countertop with a little flour.  Take one ball of dough press down & place on dusted board.  Take a rolling pin and place on he middle of dough.  Roll away from you and roll toward you (keep dough oval shape at all times).  Place tortilla on hot griddle for 1/2 minute (till bubbles appear), turn, leave for about 1/2 minute, turn & leave for about 1/2 minute, remove from griddle.  Tortilla should be bubbly and soft.
