Hello!! Today is cold and wet and just Wednesday. I feel like tacos for dinner tonight. I have a great tortilla recipe I would like to share. I have been making these since I was 10 years old. Here goes:
Flour Tortillas
2 c. flour
1/4 c. lard or shortening
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. very warm water(sometimes a little more)
Mix flour, salt, and lard (or shortening). Using a pastry blender(or fork) cut the lard (or shortening) into the flour and salt. Mix until crumbly. Add water. Mix. Knead 50 times. Let rest for 15 minutes. Roll with rolling pin and cook on a griddle. (I just spray with Pam cooking spray).
These are so good. They stay soft, and they don't break. MMMMMM...can't wait for dinner.
Thanks to all who have entered my give-away so far. Just for giggles, and because I like you all so much, I will be adding 3 more little things along the way to my give-away. Today I added a magnetic, patriotic clip!! Good for the fridge...tomorrow--wait and see!! Remember to enter the give-away at my 50th post- post!!~~just scroll down(I've decided I'm a horrible photographer--this picture is not so good--hopefully you get the idea).
Have a wonderful Wednesday!!Be Nice to People,
Julie

Homemade Tortillas??? YUMMMMMMMMMY! Boy I wish I lived by you. There is nothing better then warm homemade tortillas. I like to eat them with butter on them. Oh man! Those sound so good!

I must try that recipe. I just bought some tortillas tonight but the sound of homemade ones with no preservatives and fresh is so much more appealing. I can't wait to try it! Thanks a bunch!
