Tortillas

I love my griddle. I received it as a wedding gift from a friend 6 years ago and have used it close to every other week since then, if not more. And I think of her whenever I use it. Thanks Jen :)

I'm taking some enchiladas to a family in our neighborhood tonight and I should not have made these. I want to eat them right now. They might not get dinner tonight ;) 

I found this recipe via Pinterest on Annie's Eats  so go check her blog out. I've tried other tortilla recipes but for some reason they just weren't that good. These are good and easy! I used my food processor but a pastry cutter or even a fork will work to cut the fat into the flour. Today, they probably took me 30 minutes at the most. My 3 year old loved watching the dough spin in the food processor. Then, after I divided the dough, I helped him off to his nap while the dough rested. I then came back to roll out and cook them. Simple :) and so worth it. 

Tortillas adapted from Annie's Eats

Makes 12, 8-9 inch tortillas

Ingredients 

3 cups flour 

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

5 Tablespoons unsalted butter (or shortening) 

3/4-1 cup cold water

Directions 

Place flour, baking powder, salt and butter into a food processor and pulse about 5 times (with dough blade and dough button pressed) until it is mixed like sand. 

Turn on the processor and slowly stream in the water. Mix until the dough is in one large ball. If it's too wet add just a tablespoon of flour at a time.

Remove from bowl and divide into 12 equal pieces.

Let it rest covered with a clean kitchen towel for 10 minites.

Heat griddle to 325 degrees or pan to medium heat. 

Roll out dough balls on well flour surface to about a 8-9 inch circle. 

Cook on one side until lots of small bubbles form and flip. Maybe 30 seconds or so.

Finish cooking the other side until it's lightly browned. Maybe 30 seconds to a minute. Not too long or they will be too crispy to fold. Just keep an eye on them and you'll be good to go. 

Put them in a plate and cover with a clean towel. 

They also freeze well.
