Spelt Flour Tortillas

This is a great Spelt flour tortillas recipe.  My mother made it up herself.  The only difference between these and regular white tortillas is that they aren't as friendly when you're trying to fold them.  They don't have gluten in it which is that part of the substance that holds everything together like glue.  No, they won't break and crumble left and right but they just tend to be dry.  Still they are DELICIOUS!  -side note; they workout and taste better if you mix and kneed everything by hand*

Spelt Flour Tortillas

4 cups for Spelt Flour

1 teaspoon of baking powder

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1/2 cup coconut oil (could be substituted out for regular cooking oil but coconut oils seems to give the necessary moisture it needs)

1 1/4- 1 1/2 cup of warm/hot water

1 teaspoon of Lemon Juice

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in in a med-large bowl with a whisk until well incorporated.

Then add oil mix the oil until it starts looking a little crumbly, if it looks a little to dry for you go a head and add just a tablespoon more of oil at a time until you get your desired look.

Finally put your water in a cup in at a time until dough like consistency.

and finally add lemon juice.

Once everything is mixed- hand kneed for 5 minutes.

Divide into 12 balls for smaller tortillas or in 8 balls for larger

Use a rolling pin to roll and flatten them out, and the thickness of  the tortilla depends on how think you want it but I roll mine out pretty thin. *While rolling tortillas out keep plastic wrap over the bowl so they don't dry out.* About medium/med-high heat bake on each side.

Storage: let them cool completely and store in a plastic bag big enough to zip closed. ENJOY!!
