Frankly, I have looked for tortilla wrap recipe through internet for years, and I have gone through so many failure too. Finally, I managed to find one which is good enough last year. However, after advised by a Chinese friend of mine, whom I regard her as 'kitchen veteran' (厨房老将), I decided to try out this new recipe for tortilla wrap, and it works.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups self raising flour (can substitute by plain flour too, then it will become plainflour wrap)
- 1 cup boiling water (it has to be boiling hot, otherwise, you will go through the same failure as I do)
- 1 tbsp butter(optional)
Procedure:
- Pour hot water to the flour.
- Stir quickly with chopstick, the half cooked flour will resemble into chunky pieces of dough.
- Now, add cold water bit by bit, knead dough until it form a ball. It shouldn't be sticky at this stage.
- Cover the dough and rest dough for ~30min.
- Divide dough into 15pcs (depends on the size/thickness you like it to be).
- Use rolling pin to flatten them.
- Start frying using a pan. (Note: Must not use oil, otherwise it won't puff up nicely).
- Fry one side until you see some 'bubbles' puffing up and the dough slightly change to translucent, lift the dough to confirm there are a few brown patches/dots at the down side, flip them over. Fry for another 30 sec, again, lift the dough to check for a few brown patches/dots, then, it is done.
- Repeat for the rest of the dough.
Reminder
- Must use boiling water.
- Do not use oil when frying.
- Stack up all the tortilla wraps to maintain the moiture in the wrap so that it will remain soft.
Tips:
Flour to water ratio is 3 : 1 , so you can actually vary the quantity of wraps you are going to make easily.
Try to substitute SR flour by plain flour, then it will become a plain flour wrap. It will have different texture. Tell me which one you like best.
