How To Make flour tortillas

Step 1

Place liquids in bowl.

Step 2

Add the dry ingredients.
Step 3

Knead until the dough is workable but not stiff. (Keep the dough moist for soft tortillas.)
Step 4

Let stand 10 minutes.
Step 5

Pull out golf size tortillas & place onto floured board.
Step 6

Either roll with floured rolling pin or press down with fingers. Of course you could press with a tortilla press if you have one. I like pressing down with my fingers because I feel like I get a better shaped tortilla.
Step 7

Cook on a griddle on both sides until slightly golden.
