Ingredients: |
|
|
1-1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
1-1/2 cups unsifted all purpose flour
3/4 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. shortening
3/4 cup warm water
|
Directions:
|
In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, and salt. With pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in shortening until well blended.
Add warm water (use more, if necessary), stirring until mixture is completely moistened. Form into a ball.
On floured surface, knead or work dough with hands until it is no longer sticky—about 5 minutes at room temperature.
Then, on floured surface, roll out each ball into 18 inch circle. With paring knife, cut 5 tortillas from each circle (use rim of 5 3/4 inch mixing bowl as guide).
On heated, ungreased griddle, bake tortillas 1 minute. Turn, and bake 1 minute longer. Makes 10.
*Authentic tortillas are made with masa harina, not nationally available. This adaptation uses regular cornmeal.
