Non-Rolled Tortillas :)

I hate rolling out tortillas, so I found a fabulous recipe that uses a type of liquid batter instead :) Like crepes.

1 C whole wheat pastry flour
4 eggs, beaten
2 TBS olive oil
2 C water
1 C cornmeal, finely ground
1/2 tsp salt

-mix eggs, oil and water. Combine flour, cornmeal and salt and add to it. It should be the consistency of light cream. Pour a tiny amount of olive oil in bottom of heated skillet. Pour batter (like crepe batter into pan, swirling around quickly to make sure bottom gets coated before it cooks to bottom. Flip and cook. You have to keep stirring up the mixture before you pour each tortilla, since the cornmeal settles to the bottom.

-in medium cast iron (8 in) – use 1/4 C scoop – makes 24

-in large cast iron (10 in) – use 1/2 C scoop – makes 12
