「料理はエクササイズよ！」

なんてジョークも飛ばしてみたり。
トルティーヤの生地を寝かせてる間にクッキーの準備をする。
このクッキーはシェリーのスペシャルだそうで、グラニュー糖とブラウンシュガーを混ぜて使う。
グラニュー糖だけで作ってもかまわないそうだけど、この割合がシェリーの好みだそう。
うん、自分で作ると、その辺のビミョーな好みも思い通りにできるもんね。

～「ばりーさんのエッセイ」より～

Homemade Tortillas

材料

作り方

In a large bowl, combine the flour and the salt. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the water and mix until dough-like. Knead the dough in the bowl for 1 minute. Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes. Divide the dough into 18 balls. Roll each ball between both hands until smooth, then flatten into discs. Wrap in plastic and set aside for 1 hour. Roll out each disc to a 10-inch round. Heat a skillet or griddle. Place each round on a griddle and count to 10, then turn over. Keep counting and turning until each tortilla has golden spots and has stopped bubbling. Wrap in a kitchen towel, cool and wrap individually in foil and store in a plastic bag until ready to use. May be refrigerated for one week or frozen. (Makes 18)
