These tortillas? are delicious. Thank you!
@MrFireman610 I think you made them wrong…I followed the recipe exactly? and they were perfect!
hi how long can i keep the cooked tortillas and what is the best way???? Thanx
The ingredients are WAY off in this recipe..For 4 cups of flour you would only need ONE TEASPOON of salt..and only TWO TEASPOONS of baking powder. TWO tablespoons of shortening..about 1 1/2 c hot water. I tried making this and they were EXTREMELY SALTY..they didn’t even rise up on griddle or skillet. I have? a tortilla press and a tortilla roller which made no difference whatsoever. I would never waste all my ingredients again on THIS recipe.
Thank you for this video, my tortillas? are so much better now!
It’s the Charlie Brown? song!!
Thanks you so much for showing the correct way to roll? these things out. Mine usually stick.
@Ravlei no matter how you shape them they’ll almost always end up tasting the same.? I’ve just noticed that hand rolling the dough like it’s done traditionally makes a lot more tortillas a lot faster, but it takes more skill. It’s easier to make large batches that way. They don’t form perfect circles, but they’re still good!
@llieske
You don’t have to weigh the balls of dough or make the tortillas that small (which saves time when it comes to cooking). You could also double the recipe and make them ahead of time, which is what I do. A tortilla press might be better for people who? aren’t skilled with a rolling pin. But it’s all personal preference.
This is the only tortilla recipe I’ve come across that reminds me of my childhood, and I’ve been looking for a long time now. Very soft and delicious. <3
What is this 120P? my little? sisters dora the explorer camera in better than this
That is? a ton of ork for not a lot of tortillas… There are ways to make them faster.
The video is very clear. The hostess? is cute as others have said, and has a very nice calm poise. The music is good too. Watching this, I realize again that it’s a blessing to have a nice woman in the kitchen.
) Many thanks.
I like what the guy said about marrying You. You are very cute and exceptionally great with your hands. I’m a chef that just needed a refresher on measurements and You blew me? away with the peanuts music, that’s absolutly my favorite. I;m 50 years old and you probably have a husband anyway, great job on your vidio. Love David.
@992kirky Compared to hard bread rolls which are usually mixed for 10-15 mins by a mixer, 3 mins seems like just enough time to allow all of the dry? ingredients to absorb the water with minimal gluten development. Furthermore, resting relaxes the gluten strands created while kneading. Natural yeast in the air also contributes to the tenderness. It wasn’t handled enough to pass a window pane test, so I imagine they were very soft as evidenced by the puff level while cooking.
I? only have one question about this recipe. Do they not become chewy? I only ask because you handled the dough a lot.
@mrgenc333? use vegetable oil
Excellent recipe my kids loved it? thank you.
u married.? great vid.
I just made these. My 2 1/2 year old son couldn’t wait for these to cool down. Easy to make. I used vege oil and still very tasty. I will never buy flour tortillas again at the? store.
hendricks you moron radon occurs in ALL organic materials-rocks sand minerals concrete bricks clay plants (especially wacky weed which you’ve either been smoking? too much or not enough). It’s only a danger in areas where it occurs in soil at high levels & you’ve built a weather tight house, effectively trapping released particles inside. Rolling a tortilla out on a granite countertop is not going to pose a significant radiation hazard in the home. Get a science education, fer cryin’ out loud!
I’d be careful about rolling out the dough on that granite counter top… check with? whoever installed it and double check that it is ok to use. Some granite used in counter tops release small amounts of radon =(
I like? the way you knead.
Well? done!
Love this video!? Hope to see more.
@Denshuu you do if? you actually bake.
