to get me to try tortillas from scratch there has to be an incentive. If something takes time to make, it's either got to be a whole lot cheaper , or or it has to be healthier or both. imdodmrin onto a recipe for tortillas that healthier. I decided to keep it in case for some reason I couldn't get to the store or I wanted to show granddaughter that tortillas didn't just appear out of a plastic bag. The cost difference alone doesn't warrant the time consumed.
3-1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
7 Tbls canola oil
Mix together until a smooth ball forms, knead.
Separate dough into two ounce balls.
Let balls rest, covered for 10 minutes.
Roll out to be very thin.
Cook on a flat griddle until browned on both sides.
Cost :
Flour 3.5 cups at .08 cup is .28
Oil - 7 TBLS is .28
Total .56
Makes 15 tortillas
Or .04 each
A package of 10 cost a dollar on sale . Or .10 each.
The mount of time to make the tortillas is too great to save six cents a tortilla.you are 60. Itmwould only make sense of you wanted to avoid the lard or shortening, It's a labor of love.
