A friend of mine posted a Facebook post about this "new" yeastless bread she created. She went on and on about how EASY it was and how proud she was for creating it. She even boasted she cooked it in a hot pan in just a few minutes.
Then she posted the recipe:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup warm water
1/4 cup oil
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
I had to tell her...
THAT is a tortilla recipe. You literally made a tortilla. Mexican women have been making them for 500 years.
I think she hates me now

It IS amazing...but I still prefer the creation from the Tuba City truck stop kitchen.
Just please don't tell her that!

(6,843 posts)You use a starter of flour and water until yeast colonize it. You just don't use instant yeast.

(9,124 posts)flat bread but I did find a big 80oz box of Aunt-Jemima buttermilk pancake mix for $5 which I plan on making biscuits along with pancakes of course. It would take me a few years to use up a box that size in normal times.
