Hello my beautiful family hope you are all having a blessed and beautiful day, homemade flour tortillas are a MUST!!!!!! There is no store bought tortilla that could ever replace them! 5 ingredients is all you need when in reality 6 because like every recipe love is require and best believe you can taste it! Love you all so much and than k you for your continuous love and support! ❤️
Just made these for chicken tacos last night! I chilled the leftover balls in the fridge. Took them out in the morning and let them warm up. Then made delish breakfast burritos! Thank you, Claudia for this recipe and easy-to-follow instructions!
Awesome recipe. Best one I have found so far. For those of us not living in the US, here is the recipe conversion: 480g All purpose flour 77g Lard or 84g Butter (hydrogenated fats will kill you, so I didn't include a conversion for shortening) 6g Baking Powder 11g Salt 480ml Hot Water
Actually true - the only recipe you'll ever need - works a treat 😊 Tip for those following along though is don't add all of the water at once, as your flour will probably be different to hers and absorb a different amount of water.
She’s a baaaad girl!! Started out as a teen Mom & a Whole Boss now. Got her shirt mic now, watching her old vids. The progression is Awesome, makeup, style, braces off. I love it, you go girl!!!
Thank you so much for this recipe!! I am an Arizona native, I have tried HUNDREDS of tortilla recipes but this is by far the ultimate BEST OVERALL THANK YOU CLAUDIA 🥰💯🙏🏻
I grew up with 6 brothers.. my mom made flour tortillas ...I always watched her make them..and I know how to make flour tortillas her way.. Yours are just like the way she made them.. so I can tell yours are delicious with butter too...😋
Ive tried alot of homemade tortillas recipes but Miss Claudia recipe is an all time fave with my kids. My oldest helps prep, roll and cook the tortillas just so she can be the first one to do the taste test. Thank you for your recipe love🤍
My besties mom used to make these for us back when I was really little. I would get so wide eyed watching her flip them on the hot skillet with her bare hands lol 😂. I’d never seen anything like that before and I thought she was amazing (well - actually she was truly amazing 😍). She’s put butter on them, roll them up in a napkin and send us outside to eat. To this day, literally one of my favorite childhood memories. Thank you Claudia for this video and recipe! Time to relive my childhood… 😁
Same here. Oddly my child hood friends be was Claudia. Her Grandmother watched all the little ones during the day as the parents worked. I would go over everyday after I got my chores done, help her with her chores, and her grandmother would always say "you too skinny - eat!" Handing me a plate of food. It always had beans, rice, fresh tortillas, sometimes some sort of meat or potatoes. But it was always good. Never asked just ate. I always felt like I would pop when I left lol. My favorite childhood memories. Those and the other neighbor would make tamales, and let us eat on them all day lol. FYI, sadly I still can't speak Spanish, but it is my favorite food to cook.
I made this because I didn't want to go to the store to get tortillas and now I never need to make that specific run again. This recipe was awesome! Really easy to follow. (I definitely need to work on my shaping though, they were kind of... not circular.)
I love how you always stay so nice and clean when you are cooking. Meanwhile, I look like I was laying on the counter and rolling around with the food 😬😂😂
Look how far away she is from the counter. If you strain your back, you can be clean, too. She doesn't do that with the camera off. She gets into her cooking clothes, or has an army of aprons. Like we do.
Yaaaaaas!!! Lard! I don't care what people say! It's a level up in flavor. (I miss Puerto Nuevo. No.1 made the best tortillas because the used lard.) Thank you for sharing.
You are so genuinely kind & generous and friendly. Your talents are incredible I love finding a new video from you. I just absolutely love your kind sweet energy. If all American women could be as you are this nation would recover in a rapid way. Thank you & God Bless you and your family. -Jonzy
These tortillas are perfect! And I know its a bit naughty but to be honest, I put all the ingredients in my breadmaker and let it knead for me, saves so much energy for me as a busy mum. They still came out absolutely perfect. 👌 I also render my own pork fat from roasts and bacin etc. Use that in the tortillas as shortening it will blow your mind 🎉
You have given me the keys to my childhood tortillas and I can't thank you enough. Nana always had me at the counter helping her ball and roll tortillas, which at the end of the day is the most important part of pretty tortillas ❤️ gracias, babe
This recipe was so easy and came out perfectly! My whole family loved them. I've tried other recipes over the years but gave up and went back to store bought. Decided to try another instead of a trip to the grocery store and I'm SOOOOOO glad I found yours!!!! Will def be checking out your other recipes!!!
Love this. I’ve made my tortillas with a similar recipe for about 12 years and they turn out great each time. One step I’ve skipped every time is the kneading for 5 mins before the rest time. I’ll have to try this because yours look to flatten nicely.
I have Mexican Aunts. And none will give the Corn or Flour Tortilla recipes over the phone. They all say, You have to watch how it's made. A pinch of this and a pinch of that. So..... thanks for the much needed instructions and measurements!!! Liked and Subbed.
In 5th grade, my best friend Armando's Mom made fresh tortillas with a most delicious pork for World Food Day. I've been hooked on both ever since! Thank you for jogging this memory from an old man!!!!
Hi, my dough came out pretty soupy. Followed the recipe closely w/ 4 cups AP flour, 1.5 tsp BP, and 2 tsp salt and 6 TBLspoons butter, & 2 cups hot water added slowly. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks for any help.
I tried this today ... kind of spur of the moment ... and it's fantastic. I had some rounds and some squares ... but all were very very tasty. Thanks. :)
@@angelicaramirez915 Yes, it worked beautifuly for me, I'm in Canada and our flour is made from harder wheat so maybe that is why? I thought it was a great dough, so easy to work with ... I did add more flour while kneading (if you've made bread before you know the 'feel'). I thought it turned out fantastic, will definitely make it again. Probably this week.
I have had this recipe for a couple of years. I added oil. I had used warm water before and heard of using hot water, but I never had. Today, as I wanted to make a bit more tortillas, but not 30, I saw your video and used hot water. To my surprise, it was so easy to knead the dough!!! It was quickly done. Learn something new❤. Thanks
My family is Norwegian and watching you make these is so similar to the process we use to make lefse. (The finished product even looks identical to each other!) Lefse has potatoes in it as well, but it's pretty much a potato tortilla. So many great memories of making it with my mom and grandma growing up, I'm sure yours is one of those recipes that will be cherished in your family! :)
This lovely little Mama is the real deal. Her recipes are as authentic as they come. Whenever I need a latino recipe and clear instruction, this is where I go. Tried & True! ❤️
I can only imagine who wonderful those tortillas smell as they're cooking on the stove. It's an incredible smell that brings back great childhood memories.
After trying to make flour tortillas for so long and not being able to do it that I almost gave up !! came across ur video and I decided to give them another try !!! And let me just say Thank you for sharing ur recipe I have made 3 times in this week alone !!!!!!!!! It was a hit since try one !!! My family loves them !!!!!!!!! Can’t wait to try more of ur recipes !!!!!!
Good recipe. The extra water makes the dough easier to spread. The extra butter or lard does the same thing. Extra lard/butter make the tortillas sorta see through and a little crumbly when reheated. I used small amount of coconut fat or olive oil preferably organic. Both with a little difference in texture when cooked. The thickness in rolling the tortillas also adds to a different texture. Good recipe. Great job on the video. Difference in heat also makes a big difference. Colder temps when cooking the tortillas will toast them. High heat will cook the outside but not the inside of the tortilla. Too
Hands down the best recipe I’ve made. I will never be able to buy store brand after making these tortillas. I made these with grilled chicken wraps. Thank you for sharing💝
Giirl love how this video is straight to the point but still very detailed ! Your cooking videos are the best! All the ingredients in the beginning of the vids make following your steps sooo much easier. Keep up the videos doll! I will be making some of these tortillas for my hubby tonight 😍☺️ Thank you & god bless chica ☺️💕
Thank you so much ! I’ve done acouple of you’re recipes ! Love them. Ive struggled with tortillas but I love how you showed us step by step especially when rolling them out 🤗
First recipe I looked at, and I’m not even going to bother to look at another one! Really nice job. Thank you! after years of eating store-bought tortillas I can’t wait to try.
Yes! This seems a very easy recipe! I'll try it soon. Hopefully, I'll be able to make these while my Mom sleeps, then have Breakfast Burritos ready when she awakes. I'll need to pick up some more flour though. And eggs. Yum!
Can't wait to try this recipe. Looks so simple even a non experienced guy like me can make them. Thank you for sharing and showing step by step instructions.
I initially tried this tortilla recipe about 2 weeks ago. Since then I have made tortillas using this same tutorial 3 times. I must say, these are delicious!! I had never made my own tortillas....but this video and recipe made it so simple, even for me. Thank you Claudia 👍
@@sarahs7253 Good question.....actually the answer is no. I found it to be a little too much water for the mix. My strategy is to add a little water at a time up until I get the consistency I want.....hope this helps
Absolutely love your videos! Loved Mexican food since I was a kid living in AZ and your videos have helped me to recreate all the recipes I always assumed were too hard to make myself. :)
I think it’s a sign I need to make homemade tortillas. You and views on the road uploaded the same video today! Can’t wait to try this Claudia. Your recipes never fail and my family is always happy :)
I have tried 3 recipes for tortillas. The first was like this one only a smaller batch. The dough never became sticky and no matter how long I kneaded it was never pliant. The tortillas turned out like thick tough pancakes. The second didn't use baking powder and they turned out better, even puffing like they should but they were small. Today I tried again I made these tortillas. The sticky dough was like something out of the blob movie lol I had to add a couple table spoons of flour to bring it together (I didn't even use all of the water). I use a tortilla press because of old hands and the thing I noticed that this and the first recipe had in common was the dough wanted to pull back together after leaving the press. They end up to thick when it does that. I rolled a couple by hand and they puffed but they tasted to much like baking powder. I may not be meant to make my own tortillas but I will keep trying.
I just had to throw the whole batch away. Even after adding at least one more cup of flour it was way too sticky to knead. I’m not sure how everybody else is measuring, but mine certainly did not turn out. I knew you could not use that much liquid in only 4 cups of flour.
Too much water. I use this recipe, same steps as hers but not additional flour. Mine dont stick to counter. I use a little less than a cup. 3 cups flour 2 teaspoons salt 1/2 baking powder (optional) 1/2 cup shortening or slightly less than 1/2 cup Abt a cup of water or slightly less. Knead the dough for 3 min and let it rest for abt 10 minutes covered w plastic or a kitchen towel. You can either let the entire dough rest or you can opt to make the balls and then let then rest (my preferred method). I use an cast iron skillet, medium heat. My stove is gas. Hope this recipe helps you.
You have to trust the process and persevere. It will start out and you will think it can't possibly be that much water, but the stickiness will go away after you need a while. Try not to add more flour, that is what is making it thick and tough.
@@staceyfinch2158 I am naving the same problem, after kneading the dough, it was still sticky and when I was done it did not conform to a solid ball like hers did. Its resting so i dont' k now what's gunna happen!
Missing the fixings of beef and beans and we're set for lunch..! Easy Peasy recipe! Thank you!! I was lucky enough to see and eat Tortillas made by hand. She used a gas stove top to "bake" them. They were awesome, because they had a Whole Lot of Love Baked In...
Mmmm, those tortillas look so deliscious ! I always wanted to know how to make flour tortillas.My Mom always made them so perfect every time. Thanks for sharing Claudia.
Mmmm tortillas homemade!! 😋 I love homemade flour tortillas!!! Thank you for showing us how to make these ❤️ love you Claudia and all your videos!! Always watching 🤗 and much love to your family 💘
Hey I have a quick question what can I use to substitute shortening? Because I don't use shortening at all, if I can substitute shortening for butter how much butter would I need or it is all depends on how much I make it. Thank you so much I'm a New subscriber to your page🎉 @@CookingConClaudia
Its really hard to make the tortillas round, but this is also the best explained tutorial in the TH-cam platform ❤ Thanks for the tips watching your channel from Mexico 🙏🏼
Claudia I love and cook almost everything you cook. You should have your own tv show also. Wanted to ask if one day can you make spinach and chipotle flour tortillas.
Made these a few weeks ago and they were an instant hit with my family …making them for a birthday party tomorrow…thanks,so much for sharing…stay blessed
I have no idea how I managed it but my dough is so sticky compared to yours. Had to add nearly 2 more cups of flour to get anything even close to that consistancy. It's sitting now. So I guess we will see what happens.
just depends on your kitchen. i use recipes as a guide, i am precise with everything except the flour, that is what changes kitchen to kitchen. Go by texture of the dough. its ok to use more flour but aim for the tacky but not sticky texture 👍 takes practice but this recipe is perfect!
Idk what I am doing wrong here, but as I am adding the hot water little by little, the dough becomes very sticky, and I haven't had yet to use the full 2 cups of water. I'm measure everything out exactly as it says. I end up adding more flour to keep it from being sticky. It is not working for me. 😢
It’s meant to be sticky at first then as you knead it the stickiness will go away. The kneading process enables the flour to fully absorb the moisture and develop gluten strands.
I do not have much arm strength, so I cannot do all that by hand. I was able to use my stand mixer to do it for me and it turned out great! My mixer had to knead the dough for about 12 minutes to get that soft dough ball, but it worked! Thank you for the video!!!
08/18/24 = wow, another amazinggggggggggggggg video! Great Job! I always wondered HOW they make those hugeeeee Tortilla and thanks to YOU I can now make it myself. wow! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Your cooking technique and personality are OUTSTANDING!
I made them this evening. They were easy to make and i stay almost clean. LOL!! They turned out great. They weren't all shaped like circles maybe next time. LOL!! My 10 year old loved them and he is picky as heck. I shared the process on my IG reels and stories. I am going to share your TH-cam page in my stories. Thanks for this recipe!!
You probably won't see this comment, but I followed your recipe for flour tortillas and they were delicious!! My daughters were shocked when I told them I made them 🙂 Thank you for the step by step recipe.
This recipe is a disaster,2 cups of hot water is way too much,And I don't know how she made it look easy, Which it's not,I ended up throwing the crap out.!😢
I LOVE this recipe! The tortillas are soft and delicious. I use butter instead of lard. I was thinking about using milk instead of water. Has anyone tried that? These store really well. I had some leftover dough balls, and they kept well over-night. I made sure they were well covered in plastic. This is a great recipe!
I wish you would use weight measurements for flour when it comes to dough recipes. Most professional cooks acknowledge that a cup of flour is 120 grams but the weight of a cup of flour can differ dramatically depending on how tightly the flour is packed in the cup. Your recipe calls for 4 cups of flour. If we were to assume that to be 480g then add the 2 cups of water (473g), we are talking about a dough with almost 100% hydration! That is not what I see in the video. A 100% hydration dough looks almost like a batter. Most flour tortillas recipes I’ve seen have a dough hydration of 50-60%.
Thanks for posting this. I am really tired of buying tortillas. This looks the most authentic to what I am used to eating and I cannot wait to make some.
It’s perfect! My go to recipe for flour tortillas it is very sticky at first. Which is why I don’t dump all water at once. Pour little by little! Enjoy!
Claudia thank you! Very happy I found your channel. I had given up, tried so many times over the years. Finally the taste I remember from childhood. Now to perfect the roll out.
Hello my beautiful family hope you are all having a blessed and beautiful day, homemade flour tortillas are a MUST!!!!!! There is no store bought tortilla that could ever replace them! 5 ingredients is all you need when in reality 6 because like every recipe love is require and best believe you can taste it! Love you all so much and than k you for your continuous love and support! ❤️
thanks 😊 little lady, I'll learn how to make it thanks
Thank you for sharing this recipe. You made it look easy. 👍🥰👍❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for always having such wonderful food and content.
I'm wondering if it turns out different using the tortila press instead of rolling by hand?
I can't wait to make these 🤤🥰
Just made these for chicken tacos last night! I chilled the leftover balls in the fridge. Took them out in the morning and let them warm up. Then made delish breakfast burritos! Thank you, Claudia for this recipe and easy-to-follow instructions!
Awesome recipe. Best one I have found so far.
For those of us not living in the US, here is the recipe conversion:
480g All purpose flour
77g Lard or 84g Butter (hydrogenated fats will kill you, so I didn't include a conversion for shortening)
6g Baking Powder
11g Salt
480ml Hot Water
I tried this recipe tonight and it was perfect! Now to practice making them look like tortillas instead of states lol
Good one, you be funny.
My still look like the United States, it's ok.
@@markmillers4491 mine look the U.S.
Mine look like Texas state 😫 nothing wrong with the state but I want perfect circles. I may start using a tortilla compressor.
Nothing wrong with crooked tortillas. Just close your eyes and enjoy the bliss.
Actually true - the only recipe you'll ever need - works a treat 😊 Tip for those following along though is don't add all of the water at once, as your flour will probably be different to hers and absorb a different amount of water.
Thank you for this! I added little by little but threw it all in and messed them up..smh I could have used less water.
I 2nd that we ended up with a soupy type thing bit had fun doing it. Cant wait to try it again with a little different ratios.
The less flour on the table, the better it rolled out because the flour made it move too much.
I made that mistake today, but saved it. transfered it to the kitchenaid, and added a little flour at a time. very little, and it came together.
She’s a baaaad girl!! Started out as a teen Mom & a Whole Boss now. Got her shirt mic now, watching her old vids. The progression is Awesome, makeup, style, braces off. I love it, you go girl!!!

Claudia...you make it look so simple. Thank you. Now I need to learn how to make enchiladas with these tortillas. My favorite.
I think it’s a sign I need to make homemade tortillas. You and views on the road uploaded the same video today! Can’t wait to try this Claudia. Your recipes never fail and my family is always happy :)
Something about fresh warm homemade tortillas just make me happy
I have tried 3 recipes for tortillas. The first was like this one only a smaller batch. The dough never became sticky and no matter how long I kneaded it was never pliant. The tortillas turned out like thick tough pancakes. The second didn't use baking powder and they turned out better, even puffing like they should but they were small. Today I tried again I made these tortillas. The sticky dough was like something out of the blob movie lol I had to add a couple table spoons of flour to bring it together (I didn't even use all of the water). I use a tortilla press because of old hands and the thing I noticed that this and the first recipe had in common was the dough wanted to pull back together after leaving the press. They end up to thick when it does that. I rolled a couple by hand and they puffed but they tasted to much like baking powder. I may not be meant to make my own tortillas but I will keep trying.
I just had to throw the whole batch away. Even after adding at least one more cup of flour it was way too sticky to knead. I’m not sure how everybody else is measuring, but mine certainly did not turn out. I knew you could not use that much liquid in only 4 cups of flour.
Too much water. I use this recipe, same steps as hers but not additional flour. Mine dont stick to counter. I use a little less than a cup.
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 baking powder (optional)
1/2 cup shortening or slightly less than 1/2 cup
Abt a cup of water or slightly less.
Knead the dough for 3 min and let it rest for abt 10 minutes covered w plastic or a kitchen towel. You can either let the entire dough rest or you can opt to make the balls and then let then rest (my preferred method). I use an cast iron skillet, medium heat. My stove is gas. Hope this recipe helps you.
You have to trust the process and persevere. It will start out and you will think it can't possibly be that much water, but the stickiness will go away after you need a while. Try not to add more flour, that is what is making it thick and tough.
I didn’t even use all the water kneaded it for 20 mins and still VERY sticky!
@@staceyfinch2158 I am naving the same problem, after kneading the dough, it was still sticky and when I was done it did not conform to a solid ball like hers did. Its resting so i dont' k now what's gunna happen!
Missing the fixings of beef and beans and we're set for lunch..! Easy Peasy recipe! Thank you!! I was lucky enough to see and eat Tortillas made by hand. She used a gas stove top to "bake" them. They were awesome, because they had a Whole Lot of Love Baked In...
Mmmm, those tortillas look so deliscious ! I always wanted to know how to make flour tortillas.My Mom always made them so perfect every time. Thanks for sharing Claudia.
So pleased with this recipe! Finally made tortillas that don’t crack and dry out immediately. Thank you so much for sharing.
Mmmm tortillas homemade!! 😋 I love homemade flour tortillas!!! Thank you for showing us how to make these ❤️ love you Claudia and all your videos!! Always watching 🤗 and much love to your family 💘
Hi Claudia. Just finished making these flour tortillas and followed your recipe, and they came out perfect. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Just made these today. Thank you very much for this recipe! This will now be my go-to recipe for tortillas!
I've been making this recipe at least once a week for the past few weeks. So different from store bought. Thank you Claudia!
Makes me so happy! I make flour tortillas at least once a week too, they are just simply the best!
Hey I have a quick question what can I use to substitute shortening? Because I don't use shortening at all, if I can substitute shortening for butter how much butter would I need or it is all depends on how much I make it. Thank you so much I'm a New subscriber to your page🎉 @@CookingConClaudia
OMG Claudia, this is the simplest and softest tortillas every!!! Thank you so much! 💜
Its really hard to make the tortillas round, but this is also the best explained tutorial in the TH-cam platform ❤ Thanks for the tips watching your channel from Mexico 🙏🏼
Thank you Claudia! I’ve been looking to make my own flour tortillas. It looks simple and great tips 😊
This is the best flour tortilla recipe out of all the recipes I’ve seen!!! My tortillas come out perfect!!!
Claudia I love and cook almost everything you cook. You should have your own tv show also. Wanted to ask if one day can you make spinach and chipotle flour tortillas.
Made these a few weeks ago and they were an instant hit with my family …making them for a birthday party tomorrow…thanks,so much for sharing…stay blessed
U always make everything looks so Easy and Delicious
Thank you for this recipe I used shortening and butter
Made butter one thicker
Yummy
I followed this recipe but my dough was very sticky after adding the 2 cups of hot water like u said I had to add mor flour as I needed it
Great video! Thanks!
I have no idea how I managed it but my dough is so sticky compared to yours. Had to add nearly 2 more cups of flour to get anything even close to that consistancy. It's sitting now. So I guess we will see what happens.
I agree
Sameeee mine came out stickyy
You do have to knead it to the soft and smooth state. Humidity/altitude can effect recipes as well.
just depends on your kitchen. i use recipes as a guide, i am precise with everything except the flour, that is what changes kitchen to kitchen. Go by texture of the dough. its ok to use more flour but aim for the tacky but not sticky texture 👍 takes practice but this recipe is perfect!
Because 2 cups of water is too much for 4 cups of flour
Great recipe. They are so much better than store bought and I know exactly what they are made of.
Girl this recipe looks awesome! I’m going to try to make them this weekend🤤
I just made them!! My grandkids were very impressed!! Very easy to make!!
Idk what I am doing wrong here, but as I am adding the hot water little by little, the dough becomes very sticky, and I haven't had yet to use the full 2 cups of water. I'm measure everything out exactly as it says. I end up adding more flour to keep it from being sticky. It is not working for me. 😢
It’s meant to be sticky at first then as you knead it the stickiness will go away. The kneading process enables the flour to fully absorb the moisture and develop gluten strands.
Thisis too much water for 4 cups of flour. You can knead it for an hour and it will stay sticky
I do not have much arm strength, so I cannot do all that by hand. I was able to use my stand mixer to do it for me and it turned out great! My mixer had to knead the dough for about 12 minutes to get that soft dough ball, but it worked! Thank you for the video!!!
Did you add all the ingredients in the bowl using the dough hook or just the kneading part? I want to use my kitchenaid as well to do this. Thx
I use the batter paddle to "crumble" the lard/butter into the flour and then yes, the dough hook to do all the kneading. 😄@KingH_360
I followed the directions step by step but the dough was really sticky and never stop being sticky
Mine was too but kept kneading and it got like hers, also depending on room temperature / humidity in your kitchen it can affect dough

wow, another amazinggggggggggggggg video! Great Job! I always wondered HOW they make those hugeeeee Tortilla and thanks to YOU I can now make it myself. wow! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Your cooking technique and personality are OUTSTANDING!
I made them this evening. They were easy to make and i stay almost clean. LOL!! They turned out great. They weren't all shaped like circles maybe next time. LOL!! My 10 year old loved them and he is picky as heck. I shared the process on my IG reels and stories. I am going to share your TH-cam page in my stories. Thanks for this recipe!!
4 cups of flour and 2 cups of water?? Why is mine so watery if I followed exact instructions 😒😒 2:35
Add the water a 1/4 cup at a time. Kneed the dough as you add. I usually have some water left.
Wish she would have said that
@@melissamel7717she did 😂
You probably won't see this comment, but I followed your recipe for flour tortillas and they were delicious!! My daughters were shocked when I told them I made them 🙂 Thank you for the step by step recipe.
This recipe is a disaster,2 cups of hot water is way too much,And I don't know how she made it look easy, Which it's not,I ended up throwing the crap out.!😢
I LOVE this recipe! The tortillas are soft and delicious. I use butter instead of lard. I was thinking about using milk instead of water. Has anyone tried that? These store really well. I had some leftover dough balls, and they kept well over-night. I made sure they were well covered in plastic. This is a great recipe!
2 cups of water is way too much.
I agree 💯
Just add a little bit at a time
This is the second recipe of hers, where she uses too much water . Maybe her flour is different, but it's annoying
Can't wait to try this recipe, as it has less fat and baking powder than the one I'm currently using. Love me a frugal recipe!
With 2 cups of water for 4 cups of four, this became a soup for me! :(
It depends on the type of flour, for me 4 cups of flour took 5 cups of hot water,
Glad to here this, I was having the same problem. I had to add so much more flour my hand were unrecognizable.
I've been using your recipe ever since I found this...only thing is, I didn't need all the water... family love this..thank u
I wish you would use weight measurements for flour when it comes to dough recipes. Most professional cooks acknowledge that a cup of flour is 120 grams but the weight of a cup of flour can differ dramatically depending on how tightly the flour is packed in the cup. Your recipe calls for 4 cups of flour. If we were to assume that to be 480g then add the 2 cups of water (473g), we are talking about a dough with almost 100% hydration! That is not what I see in the video. A 100% hydration dough looks almost like a batter. Most flour tortillas recipes I’ve seen have a dough hydration of 50-60%.
That’s too much water,right? I tried the recipie twice and the dough came out more like a batter.
Thank you for this comment - had no idea what was wrong.
My go to channel for Mexican cooking and learning how. Love how everything is so clean.😊
Didnt work. I just ended up with goop for dough
Me to I hade to add more flour
What a beautiful job you did making those
4 cups flour to 2 cups water makes a batter. The ratio is not correct for a dough
Agree. I ended up needing to add more flour.
Funny how that's what she used and they turned out fine. You probably don't know how to use a measuring cup😂
@@Notso_super_mario, did you make them?
@@ilianakanchovska6508 no, i already know how to make them
Comment only after you used the recipe- 4 cups flour to 2 cups water, not what you know
Thanks for posting this. I am really tired of buying tortillas. This looks the most authentic to what I am used to eating and I cannot wait to make some.
NOOOOOOO WAY. The recipe was way too wet for just 4 cups of flour.
It’s perfect! My go to recipe for flour tortillas it is very sticky at first. Which is why I don’t dump all water at once. Pour little by little! Enjoy!
Yup. Mine was like oatmeal.... Threw it away and tried again. Exact same result.... What am I doing wrong?
@Fitzfish add enough water to hydrate the dry flour once it’s wet enough you can knead u til it no longer sticks to your hands ☺️
Glad I'm not the only one who thought so! I had to add an extra 1.5 cups of flour so it stopped being a soup
we always add in a nice couple tablespoons of bacon grease we have saved on the side for when we cook our beans! it adds to the flavor! 🤤
Four cups flour two cups water with poor instructions I now have soup
Omg me too!!! I tried 2x and it never looked like hers at all. It was like soup. Over an hour later and wasting 8 cups of flour I give up lol
Never put the full amount of water in. You slowly add the water while mixing the flour together.
@@ylee800which what she explains in her video. Instructions worked for me!
I made these and they are delicious! I even made my dough with my kitchen aid w/ hook attachment and they came out great.
Way too much water in this recipe
Your recipe is the first to list 1 serving of love ❤. I always said my mom made hers with lots of love and thats why they tasted so good😂
Yeah… To Much Water :(sticky
Even after meading it, it's still sticky
Just add more flour, I had the same issue, that’s because people pack their cups differently. Once I added a little more flour they came out amazing
Claudia thank you! Very happy I found your channel. I had given up, tried so many times over the years. Finally the taste I remember from childhood. Now to perfect the roll out.
