The ingredients for Rose's Amazing Flour Tortillas are:

3 cup Flour - Gold medal all purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp Salt
3/4 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 cup (8 fl oz) Water, tap
3 tbsp Shortening, Crisco (get the trans-fat free kind if possible)

OPTIONAL:
Instead of shortening, you can use lard or strained bacon fat, but whatever you do, the fat should be solid or semi-solid (no oils or butter). The ingredients really have a lot to do with the finished flavor, so organic flour, distilled water, fancy salts, etc., can make a big difference. But even if you use normal ingredients, this will taste amazing.

This recipe can be multiplied or divided up or down if you want different amounts of finished tortillas.

Here is how you make Rose's Amazing Flour Tortillas:

1. In food processor, mix all dry ingredients except the shortening. Once mixed, add in the shortening, cut into 3 pieces. Run that in pulses till it's all blended.2. Pour in cool water. Start with 1/2 cup. You want it to look a little more cohesive than biscuit dough or cookie dough, but not wet and gooey. Add 1 tb at a time until you get the right consistency.3. Pull from food processor. Pat into a circle on a floured cutting board. Using a knife, cut into half. Then into half again, and again. Keep going until you have 24 equal-sized pieces of dough.4. Heat a cast-iron griddle or skillet (do not oil it) on medium. While it heats, arrange your workspace: a plate or bowl full of dough pieces, a clean, flat surface for rolling out the dough, the skillet, and a cooling rack on the other side with paper towels for separating the tortillas in stacks.5. Roll out a tortilla with a rolling pin. I like to put the dough onto a piece of parchment paper because it doesn't stick. Some people use plastic wrap for some weird reason, or wax paper. Some folks also like putting a piece on top but I don't. Roll out that tortilla till it's paper thin (don't worry--it will "rise" a lot while cooking), then shake lightly to get any extra flour off of it and put it on the skillet. Start rolling out the next tortilla. About 15 seconds into that next one, flip the one in the skillet; it should have light brown/golden spots on the underside. You should be finished rolling out the next tortilla by the time it's done cooking. Remove the first tortilla to the rack, and put the second one on. Repeat till all the dough is used up. I separate the stacks in 8s with paper towels to absorb steam. I also wipe out the skillet with paper towels every 8 tortillas; do this whenever darkened flour starts clinging too much to the cooked tortillas. If the skillet starts smoking, turn the heat down a little.6. Use in whatever you wanted tortillas for.7. Whatever you don't eat immediately, you can store in the fridge! Separate the tortillas every 3 or 4 pieces with a piece of parchment or paper towel. Push the whole stack into a gallon-size ziplock bag, or wrap very well in plastic wrap, two layers. They'll keep for a couple of days, if you can stand them in there that long. I've never felt the need to freeze these, but most bread freezes well so I don't see why these wouldn't; just cool completely before putting them into the freezer and use a second gallon bag to keep moisture out.8. Humblebrag about how you can't ever buy supermarket tortillas/wraps ever again now that you've made the mistake of alerting your spouse to how good homemade ones taste and how easy it is to make them!Serving Size: 24 amazing medium-sized tortillasNumber of Servings: 24Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user AWHOLENEWROSE.
