I always look towards hearty, hot meals when it is raining outside . . . as it is today! Although biscuits are always welcome with stew or soup, I have this recipe for tortillas that go well with most anything for sopping up the gravy. I'm sorting recipes today and came across it and thought I'd share. Okay, I may have done so earlier in the year but not everyone reads the archives so here it is, perhaps, again!
Tortillas
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
3 tablespoons olive oil
In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. STir in water and oil. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until the dough comes together and is workable. You might have to add a few more drips of water/oil if your weather is dry.
Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion into an approximately 7-inch circle. Your circle doesn't have to be perfect!
In a nonstick skillet coated with vegetable oil spray, cook tortillas over medium heat for one minute on each side or until lightly browned. Keep them under a clean dish towel until they are all done to keep them warm.
Sure, you can purchase tortillas in the store but it is nice to know that you can whip up a batch and avoid an extra trip. Besides, there is no comparison with homemade tortillas!
Lots of cold rain this morning but the skies here in 'sunny' California seem indecisive for the moment. Naturally, our home rain forecaster, our dog, dragged her blankets out in time to get damp. She does this a day or two before WE even know it's going to rain. Ironing done and dog's blanket has been sanitized, washed, and dried.
