How to Make Flour Tortillas
How to Make Flour Tortillas
Ingredients
4 cups all purpose flour
1/8 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup lard or butter or vegetable shortening
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 cup warm water
Method
Mix the flour and baking powder in a bowl.
Add the shortening and mix it in with your hands until you get a coarse meal consistency.
Dissolve the sea salt into the water.
Drizzle the salt water mixture into the flour and mix with your hands into a soft dough. Add more warm water if it's not coming together.
Form the dough into a ball. Put it in a bowl and cover for 20 minutes. Resting the dough before rolling it out is the secret to making them easier to roll.
Break the dough ball into twelve smaller balls. Put a little bit of shortening on your hands and roll them into balls.
Flatten each ball out into a tortilla. Put flour on the surface before rolling them out. Get them as thin as possible.
Preheat a pan on medium heat. Cast iron works well for tortillas.
Lay the tortilla on the pan and flip after 15-20 seconds. Bubbling is normal.Finished.
Tips
Use a rolling pin or piece of large diameter wooden dowel (Hard Maple is best) to roll the dough thin.
You don't need to put any oil on the pan while cooking.
Vegetable shortening is generally made from hydrogenated oils. To make a more authentic tortilla, use lard rather than shortening.
Add 1/2 to 1 tsp of sugar per cup of flour to make the dough more pliable and the tortillas more moist.
Warnings
Don't place your tortilla on a too-hot pan, it will burn the outside before the inside is cooked.
Remember to always be careful when using a stove.

Churro Bites
Churro Bites (copycat recipe)
Ingredients
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
3 Tbsp butter, diced
2 tsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp + 1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
vegetable oil, for frying
Ingredients for Cinnamon Sugar Coating
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Directions
Heat 1 1/2 inches of oil in a heavy bottom pot over medium heat to 360 degrees (Keep a close eye on the temp while you prepare the churro dough, you don't want it to become too hot, so you may have to reduce the temp or remove the pot from the burner for a moment).
In a medium saucepan combine milk, water, butter, 2 tsp sugar, and salt and bring mixture just to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, remove from heat and immediately stir in vanilla and flour. Stir mixture with a silicone spatula while running dough along bottom of saucepan to smooth any lumps and stir until mixture comes together and is smooth. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large open star tip and carefully pipe about 1 to 1 1/2 inches of dough out over oil and using clean scissors, cut dough at top to allow dough to drop into oil (to make it faster I'd pipe about 2 - 3 inches out at time and would cut 2 at once then pipe more and repeat). Work in fairly small batches being careful not to overcrowd (which will reduce oil temperature too much. You want the oil to remain close to 350). Allow churros to fry until golden brown (stirring occasionally near the beginning of frying will help keep them from sticking to each other) and remove with a wire skimmer and drain on a plate or baking sheet lined with several layers of paper towels.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and cinnamon. Toss warm, drained churros into sugar mixture to evenly coat. For best results serve warm with chocolate sauce if desired.
