TIPS FOR SOFT TORTILLAS
- Be sure the dough is moist and slightly tacky before kneading.
- IF the dough is still too wet, add a Tbsp of flour at a time until workable
- Be sure to knead for 10 to 15 minutes dough should be smooth and soft after kneading
- Be sure to rest for 15 minutes to allow the gluten in the flour to relax which helps the tortilla to bubble while cooking
- Try to roll out your tortilla thin
- Over use of flour during the roll-out process may change the texture
- When adding the lard, shortening or butter; make sure you only use ONE of the ingredients. You don't need all three.
