Does anyone have a goto tortilla recipe? I want something that's very soft, pliable, and chewy.
So far, I've been doing roughly:
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tbsp lard
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/16 cup water (roughly 3/4 of 1/4 cup)
They're ending up a bit crispier and a bit less chewy than I'd like. I'm not sure if I just need to let them rest a bit longer, or knead them more, or maybe cut some fat and add more water. Would a drier tortilla be a sign of under-hydration? My place is fairly cool (usually 19-20C), so maybe I need to account for that better.
