Here is the first easy recipe for the week.
William’s Tortillas
3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1/3 c. vegetable oil
1 c. warm water
Recipe can be halved
(I found that adding a little extra oil helps the tortillas roll out easier and thinner)
Whisk all dry ingredients in a bowl and then add water and oil. Work mixture into a ball and place on floured counter. Knead for about a minute. cut into 16 pieces and roll into small balls. Cover for 10 min. Get large skillet or pan hot .
Roll balls into tortillas. It helps to lightly flour the rolling surface before you roll out the tortillas. (Here is where I kinda cheated. I started to use the rolling pin but I quickly switched over to my pasta attachment on my mixer)
Cook tortillas until you start to see bubbles pop up on the top side and flip. You only want a little browning on the tortillas like what you see from store brand. My tortillas were more rectangle than round – but hey they taste pretty good!
Cool and store in a ziploc bag in the fridge with a paper towel to absorb moisture. If you don’t plan to use them in a week put them in the freezer otherwise they will spoil.
RECIPE # 2
Hard boiled eggs.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add your uncooked eggs into the muffin tin and place in the oven for 30 minutes.
That’s it!
* There are two things to watch out for. First thing is that I left my eggs in a little longer than 30 minutes and the whites got burnt a little bit. So you’ll want to watch out for that.
The second thing is that if you think this might be a good way to use some cracked eggs that you get from your chickens – let me just say that it’s not. The eggs will cook and then kinda spew out of the egg shells all over your pan. A very good idea just not a very good turnout!
