we did this last yr except i forgot to thaw it. Did it anyhow but skipped the part about browning it on the outside. Took longer and didn't need to add extra water because it made water as it cooked. Was perfect.

To those who have a problem getting the tortillas to be round. It takes practice, and if you roll the tortilla first time, up then down, then rotate 1/2 turn , roll up then down, then rotate 1/2 turn again, continue until you get it the right thickness you want. With practice they will be round before you know it and not be animals. HaHa! This recipe is similar to my own except I use the whole 5 lbs of flour. I make alot at one time. Plus I also add baking powder. I also leave the dough in a big ball and let rest an hour then pinch off balls the size of a golf ball when I am ready to roll them out. I will try one of the other reviews about the oil. I have been wanting to use oil instead of shortening but didn't really know how much to use. Thanks for the info.

this was great. Had to make fudge for a stock show. The recipe that we got from teacher was a flop and didn't have very good directions. We found this one and turned out great, second time trying to make fudge. We didn't have a candy thermometer, couldn't find it so the other reviews were a great help.
