My best friend's mother made tortillas almost daily for 9 children. She used a round crockpot to keep them warm. She heated it up then shut it off when she started filling it with the freshly cooked tortillas. HOT water, lard, baking soda and water. She flapped them in her hands a few times after she rolled them out. Oh how I wish I could watch her again

Rachel... I am not sure if you know this, but a tortilla press is for corn tortillas and the flour tortillas are always rolled by hand with a rolling pin. The reason you can not get your tortillas thin enough is because you are not letting them rest for at least half an hour. Usually if you put them in the refrigerator for a little while and then try to roll them, you can get them pretty thin. I have left my dough in the refrigerator over night and they turn out great.

The water has to be very warm. Right until before you can't touch it. You're doing everything absolutely awesome! Lard will make a better tortilla. Also, the extra flour makes a difference. When making the balls to let them set up for 15, don't add the extra pinch of flour. When rolling it out a pinch of flour is okie dokie artichokie. The pan we use is cast iron. We call it a comal. Pro tip: after you've cooked them, place them in a tea towel that's in a tortilla warmer...but I just reuse a Walmart bag or what not. Keeps the moisture in and keeps them fluffy and pliable. You did great!! Good job hun, I bet they're delish💛 also, non of us really eat them thin hahaha carb overload 😂

Reminds me of when I was in college, and some Costa Rican friends made their own tortillas about every day. They used one of the old school "Melmac" brand plates - if you look at the bottom of those, there's a ring around the base. They used that as a press for the balls of dough, and each and every tortilla was identical to the others and the perfect thickness. Then they toasted them for a bit on a rack they'd made out of a coathanger, above an open flame on a gas cookstove burner. Ingenious!!

Your doing a great 👍 job, but just a thought from a Mexican friend of yours, that has been making tortillas since I was 12 yrs old you are not adding enough water the dough shouldn’t be so shaggy and dry, try to use your hands when you’re mixing your dough so you get the feel of the dough a little softer, so that way when you roll them you can roll them thinner. Just a thought ❤

I made flour tortillas a couple of weeks ago because I hadn't realized we were out. These were my best tortillas ever. I rolled them out on my pastry mat, which made it easier (for some reason) to keep them circular, and I was able to roll them to the correct diameter, which meant they were the right thickness. I was so pleased, and everybody liked them. Tried to restock on store bought and the store hasn't had any tortillas the past 2 weeks! So I'm super glad I figured out the secret to good homemade tortillas.

I make my tortillas with hot water. The only flour I use is that the recipe calls for. I don't knead mine. I separate them into 16 pieces. Then let rest them for 15 minutes under damp towel. I use use my tortilla press to get them flat. Then I use the wooden rolling pin to get them thinner. Once you roll them out you can put parchment paper between each one, put them in a zip lock bag, and refrigerate them until you are ready to cook them. They will last for a few days.

Making tortillas with lard comes from experience. My mother always made them with lard and the were the best and softest tortillas I’ve ever eaten. I’ve never had tortillas that compared to hers. Not once. She would knead and knead and knead. And then let them rest for 30-45 min. she didn’t use a lot of flour to roll them out and she rolled and rolled and rolled. So it’s all about the experience you have making them. Many people make them with oil or butter. And that’s fine, but to me they don’t taste as good, but I will still eat them! 😄 Also: enchiladas should always be made with corn tortillas. I know some people use flour for enchiladas, but these people are wrong. JK, kinda. Not really. Also, they get hard or crunchy when they are cooked too hot and/or too long. As soon as they bubble you should flip them and pull them as soon as they puff a little on the other side. Just a tip. Do as you do! I’m just throwing thoughts out. I’m 49 and have been watching my mom make them my whole life. Sadly I never learned to make her tortillas and so I don’t make them often. I just can’t roll them perfectly round like she did. 😢

Making yummy beverages with it is a good save. I have some blackberry "syrup" I will give my brother some, since he is the big cocktail maker. I recently made my first apple based fruit leathers in my dehydrator. I used 2 year old canned apples and applesauce. Also mixed in some rehydrated and pureed cherries to applesauce. Hubby really liked that. He said he would love having my homemade fruit rolls in his lunches. Big compliment there! I think you could use some of your mulberry syrup in a fruit leather, and it would turn out nice. I'm going to be doing some more with peaches, pears and some of my blackberry syrup.

You might have better luck with a bit of dowel wood (like a piece of broomstick). I don't know why it makes a difference but it does. Also, I think you may need to knead the dough longer to improve pliability. I shoot for 1 or 2 minutes in my stand mixer, which is more like 8 minutes of hand kneading.

Rachel, there is a channel called "Views on the Road" They do everything authentic mexican food. They have an awesome video on making flour tortillas. There is a flip and strech that a lot of people that make tortillas use and it gets them thinner after they are rolled out. Hard to describe but once you see it try it and just keep trying it is an acquired skill. I have been making tortillas a long time and I still don't get them right all the time. They still eat. You can freeze those tortillas, put them in a zipper bag and get as much air out. Just make sure to let them all thaw or they will stick together when you take them out. Great meal and very filling for these cold days.
