Flour Tortillas
Eva's whole wheat flour tortillas are made with fresh milled flour and are only 4 ingredients! They are soft, flexible, and so good you’ll want to eat them straight off the pan.
Ingredients
- 1 cup freshly milled whole wheat flour
- 30g shortening (Lard, Butter, Tallow)
- 5g salt (about 1 tsp)
- Hot water, as needed
Directions
- Mill your wheat berries using the NutriMill Harvest Grain Mill to make 1 cup of fresh whole wheat flour.
- In a small bowl, stir the salt into hot water until fully dissolved. Set aside.
- Add the shortening to the flour and work it in with your hands until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Slowly pour in the hot salt water mixture, a little at a time, mixing everything together with your hands.
- Once the dough comes together, knead it briefly and form it into a ball.
- Divide the dough into small balls, then roll out each ball on a floured surface, using plenty of flour to prevent sticking, until they are thin rounds. (Flip after each roll - see video for reference)
- Cook each tortilla on a very hot skillet or pan for 30–45 seconds per side, until bubbles form and light golden spots appear.
- Stack finished tortillas in a clean towel to keep them soft. Serve warm or store in an airtight container.
