Sarana Tortillas

WeÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢ve spent the last few days getting the boat cleaned up, doing some hiking and a little swimming. This little anchorage is very protected, and we had a pretty strong squall today and a light sprinkle, but we were nice and safe anchored here. We might spend another day or so here before heading further north.
We made some really good whole wheat tortillas today. You can try some at home:
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup soy or white flour (if you donÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢t have any, just go with 4 cups whole wheat)
1 tbs. baking powder
1 tbs. salt
1 tbs. vegetable oil
and Hot water
Mix all the dry ingredients together. Add oil then start with 1 cup of hot water. Mix it together. Add ½ cup of hot water and start needing. Add additional ½ cups of hot water until the dough is like bread dough. DonÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢t add too much water, itÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s better to have them a little dry.
Make golf-ball sized lumps of dough. Let them sit for about 5 minutes, then heat up a frying pan with a touch of vegetable oil. Let it heat while you roll out the first tortilla (if youÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢re lucky, you have a tortilla press). Then slap the tortilla into the pan, let it heat for 1-2 minutes until it forms bubbles inside, then flip it over for the same amount of time.
YUM!
