www.texmextogo.com/recipes (altered for low carb) Tortillas Reviews Date of last review 2 Sun September 23, 2007 Recommended By Average Price Average Rating 50% of reviewers None indicated 6.0 Description: A low carb variety to those you find in a authintic Tex-Mex resturante! Just like Abuela (Grandma) used to make. :o) Ingredients: 1 Cup low carb bake mix (or Atkins, we found one at Wal-mart that has 0 net carbs per serving) 3 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp salt 1/4 cup lard chilled (we used Crisco) 3/4 cup warm water 1-2 tbsp. olive or veggie oil How To Prepare: Mix the bake mix, salt, and baking powder in a bowl. Add the lard (crisco) and mix with your fingers until you have it completly crumbled in. Slowly add the warm water and stir with a large spoon. Take out and put on a "floured" (bake mix) on a smooth surface and knead for 3-5 mins. Place 1-2 tbsp oil in a large plastic bag, place dough in bag and let sit in a warm place for an hour. Pinch off golf ball size pieces, let rest another 15 mins. Roll out the balls until resemble tortillas (about 7 inches in diamater). Cook on a HOT skillet or Comal, turning only once. Place inside a tortilla warmer, in a bowl lined with a clean dish cloth or between two towels. Any left overs can be stored in a plastic bag when cooled. Yields 9-10 tortillas. Carbs per serving - include all nutritional information if known: 3 carb total. Effort (Easy, Average, Difficult): Average KingsDaughter09   Posts: 0 see this user's products

	Review Date: Sun September 23, 2007 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 4    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Very fillig Cons: a bit dry I think this recipe calls for too much water and salt. Here is the updated link that the author quotes so you can see what i mean: http://www.texmextogo.com/flour_tortilla_recipe.htm I followed the recipe but I oly used only a 1/4 Cup of water, even less water would have been better, I think. I used a home made baking mix which already has salt, maybe I should not have added any.
