Tortilla Mix

16 C. flour (use unbleached or add up to 1/2 whole wheat) 

2 Tbsp. baking powder 

2 Tbsp. salt (you can use a little less, but some salt really does make a difference in the flavor) 

1/2 C-1 C. shortening (I like about 3/4 C. of palm shortening (no trans fat!)) 

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and stir with whisk to fully mix. Cut in shortening with pastry blender or hands. Store mix in airtight container. 

To Make: 

Place 2 C. tortilla mix in a bowl, making a well in the center. Add 1/2-3/4 C. warm water, a little at a time, mixing until you have a soft dough.

Knead dough for a short time till it becomes elastic. Cover with plastic and let it rest 10-15 minutes. Form small balls, pull the dough around the bottom of the ball to make top smooth. Set aside, covered with plastic wrap.

Dip dough balls in flour and roll out thinly.

Cook on preheated dry griddle until top begins to bubble, Flip and cook for about 15 seconds more.

To keep warm: stack between towels. Wrap in plastic wrap and store in refrigerator.

Country Pepper Gravy Mix

Found on thehensnest.blogspot

5 cups all-purpose flour 

2 cups powdered milk 

1/8-1/4 cup of both salt and course black pepper 

1/2 cup cornstarch 

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and stir well. Put in an airtight container to store. To Make the Gravy:. Take a couple Tbsp. of bacon drippings and heat in a pan over medium heat. Take 3-4 heaping Tbls. of mix and sprinkle over the bacon grease. Using a fork or a whisk, consistently blend the mixture with the bacon grease until the well incorporated and there are NO LUMPS. Add 1-1/2 cup milk and whisk well.

Cook until thickened. Scraping the bottom of the pan often so not to scorch your gravy. If your gravy does scorch, toss out and start over. Nothing worse than burnt gravy! It will be rich and creamy using milk but water will work fine to as there is powdered milk in the mix. Additional salt & pepper to taste. 

Suggestion~cut the recipe down considerably and make a test batch. Try out the gravy to make sure you like it before you make a large batch.
