• Aug. 16, 2008 - Today's Baking: Tortillas

Posted in School Days
Today we decided to try out the boys new baking set by making some tortillas for lunch. It's a really easy recipe I found on a blog somewhere: 2 cups flour 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp oil 1 tsp salt 3/4 cup warm milk Mix the first 4 ingredients. Slowly pour in milk while stirring. Knead for 2 minutes. Rest in bowl under plastic wrap for 20 min. Break dough into 8 balls and rest for another 10 min. Roll out to about an 8 in diameter. Heat a pan to med-high and cook each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side. Keep the cooked ones wrapped in a napkin while you cook the rest. First I rewrote the recipe step by step in a way my oldest could read it. They measured and stirred everything. The boys wanted to actually knead this. It is a very stiff dough so there was a lot of pushing on a ball and not much kneading. After about 2 rounds each they took it to the Kitchen Aid and let the dough hook have it.

Their favorite part is of course the rolling. These are really yummy and tasted great with our fresh egg burritos for lunch.

Posted by Autumn
Thanks for visiting today.
Also for responding to my question. :)
Hey we have about 2 or 3 memory boxes...we can send 1!!! :) What's your idea for that? You have such wonderful Ideas. I still want to make your pillow idea but, we won't be getting the sewing machine until christmas. (what brand is your sewing machine by the way)? I heard the brother sewing machines aren't good is this true?

I hope we get to make the pencil box at sometime that would be great...those are cool.
