Ingredients
4 cup Flour, Gold Medal unbleached all-purpose (by CURSORYME) 1 tsp Baking Powder 1 tsp Morton Table Salt (by LITTLELADY1996) .5 cup Shortening 1.25 cup (8 fl oz) Water, tap
1.mix flour, baking powder and salt, I use a stand mixer with dough hook.
2. add the shortening until cut into powder.
3. slowly add water, start with 1 cup if after a few minutes it is not forming a ball then add 1/4 cup more water.
4. once mixed i wrap in plastic wrap and let it set for 30 min to an hour. I think letting it stand wrapped allows it to be easier to roll out.
5. then cut into 12 2.8 oz balls (yes I weigh mine with a food scale). then flatten, i use a cast iron press, wrapped in plastic wrap and then roll even flatter with a rolling pin. some times I pull it out more with my hands before cooking like people do with pizza dough. I will usually get the first one cooking while rolling out the 2nd one.
6. place in a hot cast iron skillet and cook about 1 minute each side if it is hot. I will roll out the next one while waiting for the one in the skillet to cook.
7. I store in a tortilla warmer and then keep in fridge until ready to use throughout the week. usually it doesn't make it a week.
