Basic Flour Tortillas Recipe
BASIC FLOUR TORTILLA This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Lynch Estate in Garland, Texas in 1994.

I never made my own Tortillas, do they really cook 30 mins a side or 30 seconds?


I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be 30 seconds, blombo, as other recipes which are similar stipulate thus. The last part is a bit like making pancakes.
