Oh Suzanne, these are incredible! They taste EXACTLY like the ones that I (used to) buy from a local restaurant. The difference is that at the price of $4.50 per dozen, those have been an extremely rare treat and now I can afford to make them myself for just pennies. I am in heaven!

I made the flour tortillas tonight and we had beef and bean burritos , they turned out pretty good , except for puffing up a little bit , they were actually very enjoyable . I’ll definately be making these again.

Gabi, no, it doesn’t have to be warmed. I’ve never tried the thick ones with water, but it doesn’t hurt to try! I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

For the thick tortillas is milk a must or can I use water? Also do i warm up the milk or water, as in must it be hot when I put it into the mix?

When do I put the baking powder into the dough?

After a failed first attempt at tortillas using another recipe, I followed your steps and my stack of tortillas came out great! I used olive oil for the fat so my tortillas would be vegan and that seemed to work just fine. Thanks for all the kitchen tips you provide – love reading your blog!

I made your refried beans last week and these this week, and I can’t believe how delicious they are… I will never buy either one pre-made again!

Oh, Suzanne, thank you so much!

I made these just now, and not only was it easy, but I ate three in a row with just butter!

MmmmM. My dough came out drier and stiffer than yours appears in the photos – I think I have hard wheat, I just bought a 10kg bag of organic unbleached white flour on sale – and I know that makes a difference. Also, I used Earthbalance shortening -which is way too expensive, by the way, next time I’ll just use vegetable shortening…

anyway, the stiffer dough made the use of wax paper unnecessary – I just floured each piece and rolled them out on my wood board.

I will definitely make these again! And I love the grandmother bread.
