Teresa says
When you roll them out, roll from the middle and toward the edge. That will make you a nice, uniform shape. Also, I cheat and use self-rising flour which gives me an even fluffier tortilla and allows me to just add the shortening. ( I don’t use oil in mine.) So glad you posted this recipe. Handy skill to have, tortilla-making!
Never Ending Journeys says
Thank you, Teresa, those are some helpful tips. I like the idea of self-rising flour, I didn’t think to do that!
