Today I recreated my popular Soft Flour Tortillas video to try and answer some questions you guys had from the last video. I also weighed the ingredients to give you a more accurate recipe. Shelf life for these tortillas is 24 hours. They will start to dry out and will not reheat well past 24 hours. MAKES 12 to 14 tortillas.
INGREDIENTS
3 cups all purpose flour (400 grams flour)
2 tsp baking powder (7.5 grams baking powder)
8 oz hot water (236.59 ml water )
1/3 cup lard or shortening (65 grams) *use only 1/4 cup (59 ml) if using oil
1 tsp salt (5 grams salt)
King Arthur Unbleached AP Flour

TIPS FOR SOFT TORTILLAS
*Be sure the dough is moist and tacky before kneading.
*IF dough is too wet add flour one Tbsp at a time until workable
*Be sure to knead for 5 to 10 minutes dough should be smooth and soft after kneading
*Be sure to rest for at least 15 minutes to allow the gluten in the flour to relax which helps the tortilla to bubble while cooking
*Try to roll out your tortilla thin
*Over use of flour during the roll-out process may change the texture

Soft Flour Tortillas
I can't believe you went out of your way to re-film this recipe with more details for your fans! You're awesome thank you so much!
Thank you! I have been meaning to do this for quite some time. I finally got to it. 😊
I really appreciate you not cutting away, I am definitely a "go by feel" kinda cook (must be latina thing) and it makes much more sense to see what it should look, feel like and not just read a recipe and see the final product! Well done. I going to give a try! Fingers crossed.
aznamethyst
She is ! Wonderful !
Love all of your detailed instructions 😁
Right!! “Out of her way” is an understatement!!
i just don't understand why 393 viewers gave you a thumbs down.. they must be miserable people who are super jealous of remarkable gifted people like you. I can hear your kindness through your voice. My best to you always little lady. Thank you for your informative videos!
Your video brought up a fond memory. My dad was Hispanic, my mom was not. When I was a young girl, they got a divorce and eventually my dad remarried to a Hispanic woman. She could not speak English, and I could not speak Spanish. But when I would visit my dad every other weekend, and we'd have dinner, she always had homemade Tortillas, beans, and then whatever meat, etc.. I always ended up making them into a few burritos, even if it was just the beans, cheese and sometimes meat. One weekend, while visiting, she asked my dad to ask me if I didn't like her cooking because I was always making bean and cheese burritos. And I laughed and said No, that I loved her cooking, and it was getting the homemade Tortillas and beans that was a delicacy to me because it wasn't something I'd get at home. Don't get me wrong, my mother was a great cook, but since she wasn't Hispanic, this wasn't in her reproirtoire. Sorry for the ramble, new to your site, but it brought up a memory I hadn't thought of for years. TFS
Haha! My sister is just like you in a way. It didn't matter what was cooked she had to make a taco. Lol! Good memories. She is still like that to this day. 😁
Toni Romero Your childhood memory was lovely to read and definitely not too long. Thank you for sharing! ❤️
wow we can kinda the same past history with fathers and their wives. Good memories.
Same here.my parents divorced when I was a kid & my mom married a Hispanic man who I loved.he was good to momma & he showed me how to make homemade mole & enchiladas.the food I ate at my daddy's was basic stuff like TV dinners & burgers
What is hisponic
I want to thank you for this recipe. I have tried many recipes over the years and none have come close to my grandmas. I weighed everything and they came out exactly tasting like my grandma’s tortillas. I haven’t had one for over 20+ years but these took me back to my childhood and back to her kitchen. I used to love being woken up by the sound of the rolling pin and the smell of tortillas on the comal. I miss her everyday. Thank you for giving me this to pass on to my grandkids. Have a blessed day
I found your original tortilla video a good while ago. The first batch turned out so well my family begs to make tortillas almost daily. I never had a meal with fresh made tortillas before. Absolutly amazing. I've subbed the vegetable shortening for canola oil. They turn out just as well. My kids love helping. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
Thank you! So glad you guys tried the recipe. 😊
I just want you to know that five years later this is the same recipe that I use for my flour tortillas among many other recipes of yours that my family loves! ❤ thank you!
You make them almost exactly like my Mexican mother-in-law did! She always used Crisco; said it worked just as well as lard! It must, because her tortillas were perfect, soft, pliable, and delicious! One thing she did different is as soon as she put the tortilla on the griddle, she rubbed it with her palm. She said that helped it puff better.
I've never made tortillas in my life, growing up my mom made them all the time, I'll be 60 on the 11th and I've missed my mom's tortillas, I've bought them at the store but they never taste like my mom's she passed in 1988, I saw your video a few days ago and tonight I made them, an omg.... they tastes like my mom's tortillas I had a few tears of memories but thank you so very much for sharing the recipe. May God Bless You.
I just saw your "re-make" of original video. You have a great recipe. My problem was always the kneading. I whisked all the dry ingredients in a bowl, then added the shortening with my fingers. Turned on my Kitchen Aide mixer as I added hot tap water for seven minutes. Comes out PERFECT every time. So simple and tasty! Reminds me of my mom, thank you Maggie
After watching the video I can tell you that it was very informational. I kind of had an idea of how to make these floor tortillas. But what impressed me the most was how eloquent the lady was. I meant I can tell this lady has taught a class in the past. And her voice had a very nice tone kind of like a school teacher. Thank you for the video and keep up the good job.
Your tortilla recipe is the best I have tried. I always make too many..but they freeze well, and I have been known to make little pizzas with them too. I never buy ready made ones now as these taste so so much better. Thanks for sharing your recipes.
maggieandbart1 yes we make pizza quesadillas. They are awesome!!
maggieandbart1
I guess you freeze them already cooked, right? And how do you handle them when they're frozen?
Hello..i live in a high altitude ares in northern italy and i can say...the recipe worked amazingly for me...i followed the weight measure to a T and the dough is extremely perfect and workable.
So i also made your mexican rice ...i gently panfried my onions, then chopped garlic, a teaspoon of cumin and 2 chicken stockcubes until all aromas were released ..i added a quarter cup of tomato passata...and simmered/reduced it down...added it tomy soaking basmati rice in my rice cooker and that too, turned out beautiful....so for dinner, ill open a can of corn, can of black beans..the mexican rice and some sour cream all wrapped in the tortillas for dinner !
Thanks so much for the recipes..your recipes have always been no fail for me...lot of love from Italy, Samantha ❣💟❣🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Thank you so much reminds me of when I was young and my grandma used to take care of me..she would make the best Mexican food..man I miss her. Thanks again.
So much appreciate your no cutting away!
Its extremely helpful to view the true amount of time required for each step.
Bravo!! 😊
Yes!! Made these last night and they were delicious. I think you being more specific made such a difference from the 1st video. Some of the directions you added here might have seemed intuitive but I missed it using your 1st tutorial. Thank you so much! Your recipes are delicious. YOU = AWESOME!!!
Yay! I'm so glad the second video helped. 😊
The best tortillas ever. They brought back fond childhood memories of our Mexican neighbors teaching me to cook authentic Mexican! We had a lot of fun in the kitchen. I think my favorite way to eat a tortilla was a simple tortilla with a whole jalapeño in the center, rolled, warmed, and enjoy! Thank you so much for your recipe!
I’ve been doing a research on The authentic california Tortillas And yours seems to be the best one so far.
It’s taken me over 100 tries to perfect the Tortilla. Butter Crisco and real butter mix work best for flavor. However Lard comes very close. I found that water temp made a big difference. Anyways thank you for the video it’s been very educational. You deserve four stars for that.
Watching someone kneading dough is very meditative. So is the tuck 'n' turn. Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate.
Girl let me tell you that I made them and they came out so good. Thank you so much for the recipe .
Yee, out-of-Big-Texas, Haw! Success in making 13, almost perfect THIN, soft taco sized flour tortillas thanks to @SimplyMamaCooks excellent teaching videos. You’re the absolute best. I’m over 82+ and these are the very first flour tortillas I’ve made. By the way, since this was my first attempt, I weighed out each dough ball at 50 grams except for the 13th, it was 54 grams. Used my fabulous KitchenAid stand mixer, worked great at making the dough smooth and pliable. Also weighed each of the ingredients in grams and ml. Your excellent recipe is a real keeper. Many thanks for your generous time and kindness. 🙏🏼♥️😎💃🏼💥🎉🎊🎈. I now have enough flour tortillas to last me for almost 2 weeks. I love making one egg breakfast burritos with soft taco size flour tortillas. Yesterday, I made 14 perfect soft corn tortillas, Gave 10 of them to a Border Patrol Agent friend who’s helped me a few times over the years I’ve been here. Had 2 of my 4 to make little bacon, egg, homemade refried bean and cheese breakfast tacos today.
As a kid my grandma would always cook tortilla's, way better than store bought, i used to help her make them. This video is great i'll use it to make tortilla's.
Girl! I live a mile high above sea level and the recipe does so well. Thank you dear for the recipe!
Hello I am blessed to have found your tutorials. I'm not a good cook at all, I was a single mom always having to work. But now I can follow your tutorials and cook delicious meals for my family and grandchildren. Thank you so much.
Thank you for commenting. I'm so glad the recipe videos help. I appreciate you. 😊
I made these yesterday for the second time. First time they were super stiff and I realized how rusty I was at making fresh tortillas. This time I kneaded my dough longer and added a bit more water. My dough wasn’t super smooth like yours until it rested while I got distracted with other things. When I came back to it, it was PERFECT and my tortillas were so yummy. Definitely glad I tried again.
Best tortillas I have ever made. Your instructions are the best. Totally loving your recipes in Belize.
Thank you so much.....my boys love your recipe. We made a "batch"... The to-tos (4yr old grandson) was gone so fast. We deep fried a few,a bit of powdered sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon.... topped with ice cream. It was great. Thanks again for such a great recipe!
So now my only question is.... where can i buy one of those bowls?
Not exactly like her bowl but similar shape and quality and low priced: Web Restaurant Store, online, Vollrath 4 quart stainless steel bowl for less than $4.00 + shipping. She shops in a Korean style store, H-Mart, in Texas. I tried to find them online without success
@@beverlyfitzgerald7675 Thanks for this info! :o)
Leese Vee You’re very welcome.
Everytime I'm looking for some good ways to cook up some mexican food I always find myself coming to this channel cant help it😋
Mama, I find flour tortillas very similar in shape and taste, except they are a lot thinner, to our traditional flat pita bread we used to have in the home land of the Middle East and the Golf area. As for your recipe and the detailing in how to make tortillas were just awesome and well done. They look delicious, good job!!
I love flat bread/pita bread. I really hope to do a video on flat bread at some point. Thank you by the way! I appreciate your lovely comment. 😃
Oh my goodness! Thank you do much for remaking this video. I love this recipe but mine kept coming out dry and hard. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I knew I was following everything exactly. But watching this video helped so much for some reason 🤦🏻♀️😂
I had been practicing your recipe at home, then offered to make dinner at a friend's house the other night. I was so excited to show off my new talent! To my surprise, they had NO ROLLING PIN! (I found out after the dough balls had rested 😣) So...I used an empty 2 liter soda bottle with the label on and it worked!
AND I was not familiar with the heat settings on their stove, so getting the temperature just right was trial. BUT! Because your recipe & instructions are sooooo wonderfully explained, the torillas still came out perfect! Everyone was very impressed & very full because they enjoyed the dinner so much! Thank you from the bottom of my ❤ for sharing your time and talents with us! God bless you and your family! Hugs!
Thank you so much! That's awesome how you improvised. 😊
Who the F dosent have a rolling pin!!!?!??
@@bam2431 I didnt for the longest time. My mom never cooked when I was growing up. We literally ate tv dinners and take out ALL THE TIME. So we had no use for one. As a adult (26) I got me a rolling pin and started making tortillas and now my kids ( 9&8 ) know how to make them also. Some people just dont have one 🤷♀️.
💕 Wow ! Good job !!! I'm proud of you !! I'm planning on trying these also, and you're inspiring ! Thanks for sharing !! 👏🏼😊👋🏼
Yes! Mama is an awesome instructor!
Thank you so much! I moved to japan from Texas and one thing I love to eat is tacos. It’s so difficult to get good tortillas here so I’m so happy I found your recipe! Again thank you so much!
I love this recipe! I have never made a tortilla in my life and my mom makes really good tortillas and I moved away and then wanted a recipe I could re-create that wasn’t so hard and this recipe is it! They taste so good and are so fluffy, thank you so much for showing us your secrets and explaining so precisely!! I just made them this morning so I could have breakfast tacos and I love them!!
Bless your heart for adding measurements as I’m converting the recipe to to gluten free flour and that’s the best way. Thank you for spelling things out for those of us that never had Mama’s to teach them. My favorite are refried beans, I tried making them but it’s not the same as in the restaurant. Can you please do a video on those sometime?
Thank you, this is how I like to see recipes with precise measurements.
Thank You! I loved your first video and had pretty good success. But as a "southerner" I put the lard in as if I was making biscuits and formed that grainy mixture, instead of all the ingredients at once. I think following these directions will make mine so much better. Thank you, again!
Lard makes tortillas or bread way more tender !✔👍⚘
You are the best teacher and chef
Love the detailed instructions. My best friend's mom made the best tortillas--pretty much every other day. She measured everything in the palm of her hand! My friend eventually made her mom dump each handful of each ingredient in a measuring cup so she could have her mom's "recipe" 😁
Love your channel!
😂😂😂😂 gotta record that recipe.. I hope you learned it.... it was the same with my mother in law's flan. I didn't like flan until I tasted hers... and it took me years to get the recipe.❤
I just made these again today. Still wonderful, I love the step by step instructions. Thank you! Getting them nice and round is still a goal but they were better shaped this time.
A standing ovation for this Simply Mama Cook's flour tortilla recipe. Her measurements are with out fail, precise! This is the best flour tortilla recipe. Absolutely excellent. Thank you for sharing your culinary talent, expertise and delectable recipes. I am a follower and subscriber and as a Latino am proud to support your channel. Gracias.
I’ve had these last more than 24 hours. Store them in an airtight container. Steam them and they are still so good!!! If my family was bigger, or if we were not in covid and I had friends over they obviously would not last! This has been one of my favorite covid go to recipes!!! Haven’t bought tortillas since! 💕
Thanks so much for doing this for dummies like me.😄👍
I've made some from the first video and my dough did come out a little tough and not tacky. I'm going to try and fluff my flour and baking powder to see if my dough comes out much softer. My goal is to definitely get them softer like how my grandma use to make them. I love your videos and how precise you are with measurements. Thank you for this video and like you said practicing continually does help.
I wish I could have watched and help my grandma more with her recipes. My grandma used to make the best chicken mole, I don't remember her recipe. I was wondering if you could do a video on chicken mole. I've watched so many different youtube videos but I see alot of folks using so many different ingredients although nothing is wrong with that; I just remember my grandma only using a few. Always a pleasure watching your videos
I love this recipe they come out soft and beautiful every time. I cut my fat into the flour and then add my water and they still turn out beautiful. I even make the dough balls and freeze them and lay them out to thaw and use them as needed and they still turn out great. Love this recipe! You rock Chiquita! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the tip!

Cutting in the fat is a great idea. Thank you!
Thank you! I’ve been so frustrated trying to make good, soft tortillas. These are amazing! Your directions were so clear and helpful. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I love when the tortillas puff up. I put butter on mine right off the comal and eat it up. 😋
What is a Cormal? I'm not familiar with Tortilla making :)
Buttered tortillas are so good!
YES-I grew up eatting homemade Torts this way

Thank you so much! I’m slowly learning how to make tortillas because of your video. I’ve tried to follow so many videos, I’ve asked family members and finally this is the one for me! Of course I have good and bad tortilla days but if it weren’t for you it wouldn’t be possible at all. I appreciate you so much! ❤️
¡Gracias Tía! I’m a young Latina and spent most of my adolescents raised in white foster families, so I’ve recently been trying to teach myself how to cook and learn these recipes that I missed when I was younger. I’m so grateful for these videos like yours to cook along with and can’t wait to make more recipes!

I just made these tortillas for the first time and they came out super soft and pliable!! Thank you for sharing such an easy recipe for these little gems!
Perfection! My first time making tortillas. I love to cook and cook almost every day so I decided to expand my skills. I copied the recipe exactly and the tortillas turned out perfect. My husband loved them. Cooking temp was the only learning curve. I used a cast iron on a gas flame. Kneading for 10 minutes was the key. When I rolled out the dough I had no shrinking and was able to roll thin with no breakage. I even draped each rolled tortilla on the edge of the bowl and had no sticking nor tearing. Thank you so much for your attention to detail and easy to follow instructions. I even got 13 with one large dough ball, so should have been 14. Now the tuck/turn motion will take some practice 😉
I made these for the first time tonight. They were delicious.
I watch your video about making a tortillas at home ..right now I am trying to do your way of cooking it...thank you
Your last video was perfect which is why I had to see why on earth you did a second one but everyone understands differently lol thanks my family loves it. I make them for breakfast now like my abuela use to for me.
Hi! I don't usually comment on videos, but I just have to say I think you are amazing!! Your kids and your husband are so lucky to have you. Your style of cooking remind me of how Grandmas used to cook everything from scratch. I love how you are not wasteful and the way you patiently teach us all with your tips and advice along the way. I have just recently discovered your channel and I have suscribed!! Thank you so much for sharing your recipes and skills with us all. You are a beautiful and generous spirit and just an awesome person!!
Thank you for both of your videos. I’ve made them twice so far and my son loves them.
mama gochujang, thank you for showing it without fast forward, cut and chop the video like others. keep up the good workl
Hi Mama! I just made your recipe, truly yummy they are soft not hard like my flour tortillas lol .I used butter I didn’t have lard. I fallowed your video until it was finished it was worth it.Thank you LOVED video .❤️😀
You don't have to blame your son lol my first one always comes out messed up jk love your RUclips videos
😂🤣 Right?! I still made it and it was still good. Lol
Never saw your first video but I'm sure it was GREAT. I used this today & made great tortillas. Instead if lard(can't use it, religious reasons) I used ghee instead, (purified butter).
Your SUCH a doll to take the time to shoot this video for us beginner tortilla makers!! I am extremely grateful for you efforts and wanted to say that I liked how you took the time on each step! Often, things go so quickly on demo videos and I have to go back and watch over and over. Very clear and concise and just plain old FUN to watch!! Thanks a million!!
Thank you! It's so hard sometimes to explain all the variables but I really want viewers to succeed. 😁 I hope this helps you. Thank you for the kind words. 😊
Best recipe and easy to follow directions! I watched your previous video and my tortillas came out so soft and yummy! Thank you so much ❤
this is great! I love your videos even more without the cut aways. This adds so much more detail to your already detailed videos. Thank you so very much! Being away from South Texas too long is making me homesick and your videos are helping me cook those foods that make me feel closer to home. I've been dying without my breakfast tacos :D
This dough was my first ever successful one made. Awesome recipe and tutorial thanks for sharing!!
After using your recipe, a few times, I've found that through inexperience I didn't work the dough long enough to get it to that elastic-softy-pillowy texture, and the very best result I was able to achieve was using water so hot that it might have scolded my bare hands, and I noticed my dough stayed warm the entire time I kneaded it. The temperature of the water has been, for me, one of the MOST important steps in this process.
Oh, be careful not to scald yourself!
The elasticity of the dough comes from the right amount of kneading. Gliadin and glutenin proteins in the flour come together, they expand and form strands of gluten which we then stretch through motion. Allowing periods of rest for the dough to acclimate after kneading lets the gluten relax and become soft and pliable once cooked. I believe this is what allows her air pockets to form while cooking and giving them that great tortilla texture.
Keep your hands happy and have fun!
Bruce, Would you say the temperature of your water is 110f to 115f as for making bread?
Seems as though the more you knead the dough the less sticky it is.☁️ It looks like a puffy white cloud ❣️
Thank you! My step children's Grandmother was Hispanic from Mexico! She taught me how to make tortillas and so many awesome dishes! You do it like she did and was thankful to find you. Because I needed a fresher course! My family are very happy to be eating home made tortillas again! It actually helps my arthritis too! God bless you! Pastor Linda Susan Brown
Ive been making this since i was 8yrs old..I made them for my 5 bros and 2 sisters...my kids love my home made tortillas...itsl feels good to make them. 😁👍👍👍🙋
I have found that when substituting liquid OIL for solid fat (lard, shortening) in the same quantity, it tends to get gummy. I would have to reduce the amount of the liquid oil, maybe 1/4 instead of 1/3 (?) cup. Again, thanks for your tips! I think my problem before was a little too much flour, room temperature water and a tendency to over-work the dough. BTW, LARD RULES!!!
T
You are so well spoken and so detailed on making torts.. mine came out ok but will keep practicing..
thank you
how on earth can there be ANY thumbs down? This recipe is perfect. Turns out a soft fluffy flour tortilla every time. And she explains it so nicely. I'm a fan. \:-)
Just found your page and I found your video so helpful. I typed up some notes based on your instructions and I am saving this to my recipe book.
This tortilla recipe rocks, my tortillas came out soft and tasted great. My mom never measured ingredients when she would make tortillas, but now thanks to you I have a recipe that I can follow
I just found your RUclips video on tortilla making! I’m so happy I did. I’ve made them 3 times and I’m getting better each time! We love the soft, fresh, tortillas! I still need to get the heat right but I’m working on it. So easy to make and since the dough is silky soft, it’s a breeze to kneed! I just need to find the measurements by weight you posted. I don’t see them. Thank you so much for this second video!
I did it! Third time is a charm! So happy they finally came out great! Figured out that the heat was too low and I was rolling them too thin. Now to get the corn tortillas under my belt! Thank you!
Made them today, they came out great. Excellent recipe and show of technique, thank you!
Thank you! I made my and let me tell you, I'm soooooo happy.
Thank you for this clear and detailed recipe... so easy to follow
So, I watched the first video and my tortillas didn't come out very well (dry, flaky), but after watching this one - which was a lot more detailed, thank you! - my tortillas are soft and delicious. Muchas gracias!
Yay! Im glad it helped out. 😄
Thank you so very much for this recipe and all of the detail you put into the video! My mother made soft tortillas like this when I was young...great memories.

My mom has a boleo (rolling pin) made from a piece of a mop handle I sanded down. She has arthritis and its easier for her to use. I was laughing at the part you said how to roll them out even with a bottle. I never could get good ones made until this video. I showed my mom, since her recipe is a handful of this, a pinch of that. She told me to tell you to put foil under your burners ( like I know you personally.) I dont have the heart to tell her how RUclips works.
Lol! That's pretty resourceful with the broom handle. Tell her I said thank you for the tip. 😄👍
Too cute
8stringmonkey LOL...You're a good son.
My dad made one for me the same way. I still need to practice this recipe until I have perfected it. Each time I get a little closer.
Thank you so much for this video!! I recently started cooking again and could not figure out why my tortillas kept coming out hard. The lard tip definitely helped a lot!! Thank you and I hope to enjoy seeing more of your videos.
I did it!!! After watching the video twice and getting all the ingredients together beforehand, they turned out just like yours! My problem making tortillas in the past was over flouring the work surface and not kneading long enough. By tweeking those two things these turned out soft, pliable and tasted delicious! I will definitely be making these tortillas on the regular! I made mine with butter instead of lard/crisco with no issues! Thanks for being so detailed that was the key to my success! 😊
I'm on my way over LOL I like my hot hot hot picante sauce & guacamole on my soft tacos please lol
Same here! I would use lots flour cuz the dough was so sticky and I only kneaded the dough for short time. Followed your video...and the tortillas were delicious !!
R. House when using butter do you have to melt the butter to separate it first, do you know what I mean like drawn butter or just use the butter how it comes packaged
@@pookyj4980 hey I may be a little too late but to answer your question, you don't have to melt the butter, a room temperature butter will do however I use cold butter straight out of the refrigerator as I live in a much hotter area. Hope that answers your question.
If using butter, how much would I need?
Previous video tortillas didn't turn out well for me but this time I weighed everything out and they turned out perfectly. Thank you so much !
I’m so happy I found you! My family is loving all the new recipes I’ve been making. Thanks for sharing your talent.
I grew up in East LA and had a wonderful babysitter, whom I adored, made us tortillas, refritos y queso, many many times. I would watch her fascinated, I have her recipe, but it never quite turned out the same as her's. Good, but not great. Now I know why. Lol You rock, now I am much better. Now that I am away from California and Texas, any food like this, I have to prepare. Thanks again.
This is my go-to recipe now whenever I or my mom want to make tortillas!
So easy to make, and your comments and video are great! I don’t usually knead by hand, but this dough is easy to work. I use a scale, I make challah bread and weigh everything as well. I got 15 tortillas- divided the dough by weight,. I tried the rolling pin, but the dough is so easy to work with that I used the heel of my hand to shape it and it worked well for me. I only wish you would add how to keep these once they are made, so they stay soft. I looked it up, but I think that would be helpful. If anyone has trouble making the balls, find a challah recipe (Jamie Geller) and they show you how- not difficult. Thank you!
yes, needed this. Mine come out like frisbees. Lol
SCM M 🤣😂🤣 Como llantas por tu coche¿
Me too 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you SO MUCH! you make it look so easy. I love how simple your recipe is. I appreciate you sharing!
I am trying this tomorrow,...that's very cool you let the kiddos help I remember doing tortillas with my grandma all the time. We had our own rolling pins at her house lol. God bless you
Watching you knead was very soothing 😊
Hi mija this my first time to watch you from Schulenburg, Texas I really enjoyed your video and I did not fast forward it my mom used to make her tortillas like you and that's how I make them too thank you for sharing God bless you and your family ❤
Your tortilla instruction is by far the best!!! My tortillas come out perfect every time thanks to you 😘 for those who are stuggling, it takes practice!! And like she says, you want a moist dough, it's about the feel for sure! I've tried to be lazy and use my KitchenAid and it fails every time! Use your hands!
I tried too in a small batch just to see if it would work. ONE of my 6 tortillas had a bubble the size of the opening of a straw haha. I also tried to use my tortilla press since I had decided to practice on a whim and my counter wasn't wiped down and clean from making other food. Still delicious... but not like yours! I will try your way next time. I have always been more of a flour than corn tortilla fan but I can now say I prefer corn tortillas when it comes to making homemade tortillas for ease of use, simplicity and taste.
Thank you so much for such simple instructions 💙
I Love your videos!!!💖💜💙
Thank you for this helpful tutorial. I made these tortillas alongside a different recipe and these were the clear winner! I'm adding these to my list of recipes.
Yes this helped! Last time I used a press and I don’t think mine came out as thin as they needed to be. Not slowing down the video helped to see how long to cook them as well. Thanks again. I would have never never believed that I would make tortillas!
The press us actually used for corn tortillas, not flour!
This is the first time I've seen this video. It's helpful. Thank you. I always wondered how they make them. They look great.
