How to Make Aunt Sharleen's Flour Tortilla Receipe 1
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the shortening and lard, and cut them into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the warm water until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a 6-inch circle using a lightly floured rolling pin.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Cook each tortilla for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Keep cooked tortillas warm in a clean kitchen towel.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! These are perfect warm with your favorite toppings, for quesadillas, or for making crispy chips.
