Here is the tortilla recipe that I use.  I got this recipe from a wonderful lady who goes by the online name of dutchgirl.  She may not know it but she has been a huge blessing to my family.  She is one of the ladies that help me learn to bake from scratch and gave me the courage to keep trying.  I had some pretty ummm flat bread and we won't even talk about the bagels. LOL  So here's the recipe.

Tortillas

2 cups flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

2 Tbsp. shortening (you can substitute lard or margine, I use lard because of my allergy)

1/2 cup warm water

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in bowl.  Cut in shortening I use a pastry blender.  Add warm water and beat well.   Knead until dough is supple, adding flour as necessary.  Form into 8 to 12 balls depending on the size of tortilla you want.  Roll on a lightly floured surface into large flat circles. 

Cook the tortilla on an ungreased flat surface like a griddle or fajita pan about 30 seconds on each side.  When light brown spots appear it is done.  Stack on a plate as they are done and keep covered with a towel to keep them pliable.  These also keep well in the freezer or fridge.

While I'm sharing recipes I have to share this one, that I tried this week.  As Pumpkin says they are awesome!   Big Soft Ginger Cookies   These are really good and they do turn out really soft.  I made a double batch and froze some of the dough.  I let you know how they turn out from the freezer.  I love fresh cookies but I don't like having to make the mess to make them so I always make a double batch and freeze half the dough for later.  I make little dough balls and flash freeze them.  Then I just toss them in a freezer bag and pull out what I need later.  Every cookie I've tried so far has worked wonderfully, though some do have to defrost in the fridge for awhile first. 

I just remembered that I never posted a picture of the puppet theater.  I'll do that tomorrow.  It's late right now and the kids are asleep.  I don't think they'd appreciate mom going in there snapping pictures right now. LOL

Have a blessed day!
