tortillas just insanelyeasy to do a little surprised that Ifound out about but a viewer of mine suehunt decided to go ahead and make areddit page for me I’m not really verywell versed in Reddit the link will bein the description you know all thatblah blah blah blah also my Instagramand Twitter will be down there in theUnited States at least most restaurantsthat are serving anything with a taco ortortilla whatever they’re probably notmaking those tortillas back there butwhen it comes to tortillas there is amassive difference between a fresh madetortilla and an already made tortillatrust me if you know you know now withthat said let’s do this shall weso know what you’re thinking why is thiswhite boy trying to teach us how to maketortillas and look I’m not claiming forthis to be nearly as good as somethingyou would find in Mexico but it is ahundred times better than any commercialtortilla that you’re gonna get at mostrestaurants so you’re gonna start withtwo and a half cups or 346 grams ofall-purpose flour to that you’re gonnaadd one teaspoon or six grams of finesea salt then start whisking so that yourealize you forgot to add the bakingpowder and one and a half teaspoons orsix grams of baking powder give that agood whisk in slow motion to that makesure add three tablespoons or 33 gramsof lard now you could get large from alot of different places i rendered myown out from some of the pork fatbackfrom the sausage video and I ended upcold smoking it so you know smoked porkfat tortillas can’t go wrong with thatbut of course you can also use vegetableoil then just toss the flour make surewith the fat rubbing it between yourfingers and thumbs until you kind of getan even sort of cornmeal looking texturewith the flour to that make sure yougonna add 3/4 of a cup plus onetablespoon or a hundred and eighty-ninemilliliters of warm water not hot justwarm then give that a mix by hand untilit comes together as a dough turn it outonto a work surface and begin kneadingit for a couple of minutes until itbegins to turn smooth what’s this niceand elastic it’s smooth coverwith a damp kitchen towel and let itrest for 10 minutes what’s this rusticgive it a nice little spankthen divided into 16 even pieces whichif you have a scale it’s gonna be about35 grams per piece you guys already knowhow I feel about kitchen scales it’sit’s a good idea because every piece isgonna be so gosh-darn even if you dothat once you’ve divided all of themroll each piece into a ball yeah a ballbefore we roll these out eat a cast-ironskillet or a comb all over medium-highheat until very hot you need this thingscreaming to properly cook these if youhave an infrared thermometer it’ll beabout 500 degrees Fahrenheit or 260degrees Celsius to roll these out you’regonna first lightly flour a work surfacethen lightly flour your ball gentlyflatten your ball with your palm andsort of just get the shape started thenusing a rolling pin gently roll it intoa disk shape until it’s about 1/8 of aninch thickif you won’t roll out then let the ballsrest for about 5 minutes hahaalso a cool trick to keep the circleseven is to roll down quarter turn thedough roll down again and then just keeprepeating that to follow around theperimeter of the tortilla and it shouldbe relatively circular now once you’verolled out that layered torte illacarefully transfer it to your skilletand let it cook for about 30 seconds perside until you get some nice medium charon both sides and it’s cooked throughremember this thing’s got to be hackedthen place the finished tortilla on atortilla warmer or a folded towel thenrepeat with all the tortillas until doneI also like to keep my tortillas warm inthe oven with a keep warm function sortof as I’m making these then you knowwhat to do fill these
