Just Like Wheat Tortilla Recipe by Monica Poole of Deby's GF

[mrsppmrxky]

I had gotten a copy of Monica's torilla recipe. I have changed it and I will post my changes after I post her original recipe. I have made Monica's recipe before and I liked the tortillas, but I really liked my changed recipe better. MrP and his mom were really happy with the results.

Here's the orginal:

Just Like Wheat Tortilla Recipe
Developed by Monica Poole of Deby's Gluten Free www.debysglutenfree.net (.com works too)

Ingredients:
2 cups tapioca flour
1 cup Deby's GF biscuit mix
2 TBL shortening
2 tsp xanthan gum
1 1/4 cup milk or soy milk

-separate for rolling-1/2 cup asian sweet rice flour

Directions:

Combine dry ingredients except rice flour into a bowl. Add 1/2 cup of milk or soy milk. Stir milk and flour together, blending well. Mix will be somewhat moist, but not runny.

Sprinkle sweet rice flour liberally on a flat surface and knead dough to a smooth ball. Completely wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for about an hour.

Remove from plastic. Divide into 10-12 portions and roll into balls.
The less balls you make, the thicker the tortillas will be. Cover them with a damp cloth to keep them from drying out while rolling.

Liberally sprinkle wooden cutting board or counter with sweet rice flour. Roll each ball of dough to a 10 inch round. Wood will release the dough easily, use wax paper or plastic if it sticks to your counter. You can also use a tortilla press to start the flattening process. Use a rolling pin to make a very flat and smooth tortilla.
Cut into a circle with a knife by hand, or use a cooking pan lid that is the desired diameter, like you would a cookie cutter.

If not cooking tortillas immediately, stack with wax paper or plastic in between the tortillas and store in an airtight container or baggie.
Caution- leaving dough or tortillas exposed to the air will very quickly dry them out.

Cook on a hot surface for about 30 seconds on each side. Use immediately, or store in a tightly sealed plastic bag.

Reheat on a hot surface. DO NOT MICROWAVE. Keep unused tortillas in a sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator.

These tortillas are the best! They fold and roll like wheat without cracking or crumbling. If you share this recipe, please give credit to Monica and don't forget the web site so the user can order the biscuit mix
