INSTRUCTIONS
In a large bowl place the white flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder and
salt. Mix the ingredients together well.
Add the oil, milk, and water. Mix the ingredients together so that they are
well blended and a dough is formed.
On a floured surface, knead the dough for 2 minutes.
With oiled hands, form twelve 2-inch balls by rolling some of the dough in
your palms.
Roll out each ball so that it forms a 1/8-inch thick circle.
On a heated grill place the tortillas. Cook them for 2 minutes on each
side, or until they are done.
Makes 1 dozen tortillas.
Served at Casa de Martinez, Los Ojos, New Mexico. The recipe was given to
Clorinda Martinez de Sanchez, Innkeeper, by an employee (Ursula). It was
her grandmother's. "In my opinion, these are the perfect tortillas!" says
Mrs. Martinez de Sanchez.
