What You’ll Need
- 2 cups Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp. xanthan gum (unless your flour blend already contains it)
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 4 Tbsp. vegetable shortening
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
Method
Step One
Combine 2 cups of gluten-free all purpose flour, 1 tsp. of xanthan gum (unless your blend already contains it), 1 1/2 tsp. of salt and 1 tsp. of baking powder in a large mixing bowl.
Step Two
Add 4 Tbsp. of vegetable shortening to the mixture. Using your hands, rub the shortening into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.
Step Three
Gradually add 1 1/2 cups of warm water to your mixture. Stir until a dough starts to form.
Step Four
Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 3 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic. Wrap the dough in plastic and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Step Five
Once the dough has rested, divide it into 16 equal portions. Roll each portion out thinly into a circle.
Step Six
Heat a large non-stick fry pan over medium heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned.
Step Seven
Keep the cooked tortillas warm under a clean kitchen towel until all the tortillas are cooked. Serve and enjoy your delicious gluten-free tortillas!
