Homemade Flour Tortillas
Ingredients:
•2 cups flour
•1/4 cup Nucoa margarine cold
•1/2 teaspoon salt
•1/2 teaspoon Hanes baking powder
•1 cup warm water
•Canola oil for frying
Preparation:
With a pastry blender or back of fork, blend flour, baking power, salt and Nucoa Margarine, until it resembles coarse meal. When well combined, slowly add water until soft dough forms. Add additional warm water as neccesary. Knead for 5 minutes. Separate into 12 portions for small tortillas and 6 portions for large tortillas. Heat a griddle over medium heat.
Roll each ball of dough out into a round shape, approx. 1/8 inch thick.
Place each raw tortilla on the hot griddle or pan for about 1 minute. If it puffs up at all, you can poke a hole in the puffed area to release the steam. Flip the tortilla over and cook on the other side for about a minute. Cook it until it is no longer doughy. Remove from the griddle or pan and place onto a plate covered by a towel. Use the edges of the towel to pull over the tortillas as you cook them, to keep them warm.
