Ive had a sandwich and chocolate pudding (cake pudding not custard pudding). Neither were vegan. The troubles of eating out of the house!

We are getting our shed knocked down so I spent time today lugging stuff around so I had something yummy for lunch. I baked some slices of marinated tofu and had it with chips and a soft white bread roll. I then had some white chocolate buttons.

What recipe did you use to make the tortillas ?

What recipe did you use to make the tortillas ?

3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 cup sunflower oil or canola
Combine all ingredients.Mix.Gradually add water until a thick dough is formed.Shiny and dry not sticky.Separate dough into balls.Press flat with your hands or you can use a rolling pin.Form into circles.Make them as thin as possible.Heat a skillet on medium heat.Place the flatten tortilla in skillet when it's done preheating.Cook tortillas about 2 minutes each side.Tortillas should be pliable not crisp.

I have no idea where I got the recipe from.It's just an old one that I use sometimes.

I'm at the stage of experimenting with recipes; so far I've made 100 % masa, 100% wholemeal and next time
I'll use 50 % of each. I've never used baking powder as I like them nice and thin. I also have a tortilla press which makes it much easier as there is no rolling.

No,these don't turn out very thin.They are a little on the thick side but I don't have a rolling pin so not sure what they would turn out like if I used one?They get a little hard if you don't keep them warm.Still good though!

How do you roll them out ? With a bottle ? I have never duplicated ones that taste like the store bought variety. It surely has something to do with the flour ?

No I don't use a bottle lol! I just use my hands and try and make them as flat as possible.Yes,these do taste a lot like store kinds but I like them better.With store kinds I can sometimes taste the chemicals and I don't really like them much.Especially if you buy the white flour ones.Yuck!I get the brown rice tortillas usually but when I run out I make the one above or another similar one I have.

I used to use a bottle for rolling out pastry. It works perfectly well. The torillas that I buy from either TJ's or from small Mexican supermarkets taste like homemade ones. I really dislike the supermaket ones which taste like cardboard !
I never use white flour for baking or cooking ; no taste, no nutrients and loads of carbs.

I was out of wheat flour and really craving tortillas.
