Homemade Wheat Flour Tortillas



I have been making these wheat flour tortillas since 1998.  It was the missionaries in Hamar who made it for us first (at Knut and Åse's home) and after that I fell head over heals and so I asked them for the recipe.  They not only gave me the recipe, but the recipe book the recipe was in.  It came from the "DEN NORSKE MISJONS KOKEBOK" which translates to "THE NORWEGIAN MISSION'S COOKBOOK".    I cannot remember the names of those Elders... was it Webster and North or was it Webster and Andersen or maybe it was North and Andersen?   Anywho... I always think of them and that evening everytime I make these.

Below is the recipe and it is so easy that a 5 year old can make these!





ELDER LUNDGREN'S FLOUR TORTILLAS

4 cups all purpose flour (or 2 cups all purpose flour + 2 cups wheat flour)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/3 cups boiling water
1 teaspoon salt (optional)

Mix the ingredients, roll into 2 inch balls, roll out into thin round patties.  Cook in greased skillet turning to cook both sides.  Makes around 24 tortillas.
