Flour tortillas are central to the cuisine of Northern Mexico. Rich with lard and whole milk, these flour tortillas are airy, tender, and subtly sweet.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

11 ounces (315g) all-purpose flour (about 2 1/2 cups), plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt (8g); for table salt, use about half as much by volume or the same weight
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup lard (115g), melted
3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons (220ml) whole milk, warmed to 125°F (50°C) on an instant-read thermometer

Steps:

  • In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add flour, sea salt, baking powder, and sugar. Turn mixer to low speed and mix until dry ingredients are well combined, about 30 seconds. Turn off mixer, detach whisk, and use it to scrape down bowl to quickly incorporate any unmixed flour.
  • With the mixer still at medium speed, add milk in intervals, pouring it steadily in 3-second additions followed by 3-second pauses to allow the milk to mix in. Repeat until all the milk has been added. Increase mixer speed to high and let run until dough is smooth and elastic, 3 minutes.

Categories     project, appetizer

Time 2h30m

Yield about 2 dozen 7-inch tortillas

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound flour, about 3 1/4 cups
1/2 cup solid white vegetable shortening or lard
Salt to taste, if desired
1 cup warm water (slightly hotter than lukewarm but not unpleasantly hot to the touch)

Steps:

  • Volume of flour varies so it is best to measure by weight. Put flour in mixing bowl. Cut shortening into bits and add it. Rub mixture between fingers to blend.
  • Dissolve salt in water and add to flour mixture, stirring. Knead dough well for about three minutes.
  • Shape dough into ball and put in small bowl. Cover and let stand for two hours at room temperature.
  • Knead dough once more for about two minutes. Pull off pieces of dough, one at a time, and shape into ball roughly 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Press ball with palm of hand onto floured board or pastry cloth. Roll out into circle about 1/8-inch thick and about 7 inches in diameter. As each tortilla is made, put in hot skillet or griddle and cook for about 20 seconds on one side or until bubbles appear on surface and underside is lightly brown and speckled. Turn and cook quite briefly on other side. Continue until all flour mixture is used.
