HOMEMADE TORTILLAS
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

OUR FAVORITE SOFT FLOUR TORTILLAS
How we make flour tortillas that are soft, pliable and perfect for folding or wrapping. We incorporate a few tricks in the recipe for the best results. Dissolving the salt into the warm water helps season the dough. I especially recommend doing this if you are using a coarser salt. Rolling the tortillas very thin and getting the heat of your pan right makes sure that bubbles start to form (our video shows just how large these bubbles can be). It's these bubbles that create the perfect texture.

Steps:
- Add the salt to the warm water and stir together until the salt has dissolved.
- In a large bowl, use a fork to combine the flour with the oil (or other fat) until it looks crumbly. Pour in almost all of the salty water and stir until a shaggy dough forms. If the mixture seems dry, add a bit more of the water.
- When the dough comes together, transfer to a floured work surface and knead until smooth, two to three minutes. Cover with a clean dish cloth and leave for at least 15 minutes and up to an hour or two. Resting the dough makes rolling it out easier.
- Divide the dough into ten equally sized blobs and then shape into small disks. Use a rolling pin to roll each small disc into 8-inch rounds or use a tortilla press. The thinner the better, here. If you happen to get 9-inch tortillas, don't worry! We also don't worry too much about making them perfectly round. (See our video to watch us do it.)
- Stack the rolled tortillas with a piece of parchment paper between them. Alternatively, you can roll and cook the tortillas at the same time. Roll one tortilla out, then while it cooks, roll the next tortilla out.
- Make ahead: Divide the dough into smaller balls (this recipe makes ten 8-inch tortillas), wrap them very well, and then place into the refrigerator up to three days. About thirty to forty minutes before you are ready to cook the tortillas, take the balls out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature before rolling them out.
- Heat a wide, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the first tortilla. Within 20 to 30 seconds, you should start to see it puffing up with bubbles forming.
- When the bottom of the tortilla has some brown spots, flip it and cook until the second side is browned in spots and the tortilla looks dry around the edges. Each tortilla will take 1 to 2 minutes to cook. If this is taking a long time, increase the heat. If the pan starts to smoke or brown the tortillas too quickly, turn the heat down a bit.
- Transfer the cooked tortilla to a dish towel and cover it then continue with the remaining tortillas, adjusting the heat as needed.
- Store leftover tortillas in a resealable plastic bag for a day or two or freeze if needing to store longer. Fresh homemade flour tortillas are in their softest state when warm so if you have room temperature or cold tortillas, we recommend reheating them in a skillet until they are warm and pliable again.

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.

FRESH HOMEMADE FLOUR TORTILLAS!
Store bought flour tortillas don't begin to compare with these freshly rolled flour tortillas. This recipe will become better and easier with practice. The amount of milk needed for the flour in your climate will vary slightly. I've given the method that works best for me but you will get the hang of what works best for you as you perfect your method of mixing, rolling and cooking these wonderful tortillas. So get to work. Practice truly does make perfect with homemade tortillas!

Steps:
- Combine flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl. Mix well.
- Cut in the lard with one hand until incorporated. Thin flakes of lard are ok.
- Pour in the milk leaving back one or two Tablespoons. It will be pretty moist but should make a ball after 10 to 20 seconds of gentle mixing and very little kneading. Use the rest of the milk if necessary. Don't despair if the dough is a sticky tacky mess. Only If necessary, sprinkle in a a little more flour to turn it into a ball, working it as little as possible.
- Divide and roll the ball into six or seven balls. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and let set 30 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Adjust the temperature as you work. I prefer a cast iron skillet.
- Roll out a tortilla using light flour as needed.
- Cook each tortilla on one side and then the other (there should be some brown spots) and place on a plate covering with a dish towel as you go. Each tortilla should be stacked on tot of the last and covered with the towel.
- The towel is very important for keeping the moisture in ensuring that your tortillas will be flexible to fill and fold when the time comes to fill them.
- Leftovers should be stored in a zipper locked bag when sufficiently cooled.

Steps:
- Whisk 3⅓ cups (417 g) unbleached all-purpose flour, 1 Tbsp. Diamond Crystal or 1¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt, 1 tsp. baking powder, and 1 tsp. baking soda in a medium bowl to combine. Using your hands, work in 6 Tbsp. lard or vegetable shortening, melted, until incorporated and mixture looks crumbly. Pour in 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. hot water (about 100°F) and mix well.
- Transfer dough to a surface and knead until it comes together and springs back slowly when pressed, about 5 minutes. Wrap dough in plastic and let rest at room temperature at least 1 hour, or chill up to 12 hours (preferable). If chilling, let dough sit at room temperature 1 hour before making tortillas.
- Unwrap dough and divide into 8 equal pieces (about 99 g each if you have a scale). Working with 1 piece at a time, pull edges of dough up and into center, then rest a cupped hand over dough so your palm and fingers enclose it and slowly work your hand in a circular motion on the counter to shape dough into a ball. Cover balls with plastic wrap to keep from drying out and let rest 30 minutes.
- Working one at a time, roll out each ball of dough on a lightly floured surface, dusting lightly with more flour if needed (use as little as possible) to 11"-12" rounds (they should be thin enough that you can see the counter through the dough).
- Heat a comal or large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high until smoking. Working one at a time, cook tortillas until charred in spots and bubbles form on surface, 10-15 seconds. Flip and cook until charred in spots on second side, about 10 seconds. Stack and wrap in a kitchen towel to keep warm as you go.
