For years…up until several months ago, I have been making bacon in the micowave between sheets of paper towell. But after my dive into the benefits of fresh lard and then an accidental finding of a recipe for “bacon fat tortillas”…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Bacon is now fried in a cast iron skillet and the rendered fat, aka bacon grease is saved!<\/p>\n

The entire tortilla recipe has evolved as well. Although Tortillas v1.0<\/a> were very good, there was a bit of an odd taste and they were a little puffier\/heavier than I wanted.<\/p>\n

The new recipe – which I make into 6-8 tortillas: (NO baking powder!!)<\/p>\n

160 grams all purpose flour (Wheat Montana White) approx 1 cups
\n50 grams white whole wheat flour (King Arthur White whole wheat) approx 1\/2 cup
\n3 T bacon fat, fresh lard or other fat…canola oil for example
\n1\/2 (scant) tsp sea salt
\n1\/2 cup very hot water<\/p>\n

Mix all, knead lightly. Let rest for 20 minutes. Divide into 6 or 8 balls. Flatten and cook in dry cast iron comal or skillet.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The other improvement is the find of a pastry cloth and rolling pin cover…JUST like my Mama has! She has had her cloth and cover for probably 50 years – I never knew anything else to make pie crusts on. But I could never find one until several weeks ago…on Amazon. Mahhvelous!!!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Beautiful, light and pliable tortillas.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, my faithful companions lent their moral support…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

…from the comfort of their beds.<\/p>\n
