Delicious and Easy Recipe for Homemade Flour Tortillas using Bisquick
Just a few days ago, I used 2 cups of Regular Bisquick, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 level Tablespoons of Crisco Shortening, and close to 1 cup of Hot Water.
First, mix dry ingredients in KitchenAid mixer ( I use standup mixer). Then add the Crisco Shortening, mixing well, then slowly add Hot Water, and mix until well mixed. Dependiing on weather, you may have to add a Tbsp. of all-purpose flour at a time, until not sticky and soft dough.
Take out of mixing bowl, and just knead a few times on board. Then place in bowl and let rest for about 15 minutes covered with a clean dish towel. Proceed to make into small equal, slightly larger than golf size balls, cover with dish towel and proceed to roll out thinly, then cook on med./hi on cast iron griddle for about 10 seconds on each side. (Til you see little bubbles on first side. Then flip for 3rd time for a few seconds more. Place on paper toweled tortilla warmer, then cover with lid. There is no need to flour rolling pin or cutting board when rolling out dough. This dough is perfect. What I do, for cast iron griddle, is to spray Pam, then wipe with paper towel, when griddle is warm. Tortillas will not stick. When finished, place another paper towel on top of last tortilla, then place lid. To keep extra moisture from tortilla.
I love this recipe, and just wanted to share this recipe. The tortillas are soft, beautiful, and delicious. (very pliable, too.) This recipe is too good to pass up.
Enjoy, Cecilia (Gave some to my neighbor and she loved them.)

I use flour, salt, warm water, shortening or lard ( lard is yummier) ..
Or I cheat and use the ready made tortilla flour- just add hot water..
Wow, never thought of using Bisquick.. thanks for the recipe!!
Sadly I've only made pancakes.. What else can you make with a box of Bisquick.. ??
