    Tortillas

    I don't really make these all that often as the convenience of buying mass produced. But it don't hurt to roll a few dozen out every once in awhile.

    4 cups flour
    4 T lard
    3 T sugar
    3 t baking powder
    1 1/4 t salt
    1 1/2 cup of milk

    Use your mixer to mix the ingredients on low until the mixture is no longer dry. Switch to the dough hook and run for about 10 minutes. Kneed for a few minutes and let dough rest for about an hour. Roll into little balls and kneed each one a little. Roll out to 1/8 inch thick circles. The roundness takes practice.
    Heat cast iron up and place tortillas on it to toast each side.

            It's very convenient to buy them at the store no doubt. But in no way do they compare to homemade. They look awesome.

                This man knows what he is talking about! If you havent had a fresh homemade tortilla straight off the metcha with some butter, you dont know what your missing.

                        This is the stuff I have always used. Pretty sure you can find it in just about any market.

                          I thought everybody used a little sugar in tortillas and sopaillias.

                            I'll have to try this recipe. If we are in the mood for "homemade" tortillas I usually just buy the mix from Wally World. It comes in a bag like flour and all you add is water. It's pretty darn good and super easy to make.
