This is a Sue Becker recipe
WHOLE WHEAT TORTILLAS
2 - 3 cups freshly milled wheat flour (usually 3 cups) 1 cup warm water 2 Tbs. Lecithin (optional) 1/4 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 1/4 cup oil Measure liquids into mixing bowl. Add dry ingredients, kneading in the flour until the dough is workable but not too stiff. Let stand 10 minutes. Shape into 8 - 10 balls and let stand 10 more minutes. Roll very thin to form a 10 inch circle or use a tortilla press. Bake on a lightly greased griddle till done (not browned). These are as much fun to make as they are to eat with our new Wrap Master. To cook a large quantity more quickly, I use the Wrap Master to press, then place on my hot griddle to finish cooking.
SWEET TORTILLAS
To the above recipe add 2 Tbs. Sucanat, 2 tsp. cinnamon, and a dash of nutmeg. Prepare same as above. Serve these with fruit, topped with unsweetened yogurt, and drizzled with a little honey. Roll up for a delicious breakfast burrito or dessert.

What is Lecithin for? Is it like Baking soda in that it just goes in alot of things without a good reason why? LOL I think it's funny that I don't know what Baking soda or powder REALLY is and yet I can't NOT cook with it. Is Lecithin the same way?

Lecithin is an emulsifier. It makes things fluffy and is great for cholesterol. If you don't use it in your tortillas, they will stick to the iron.

O.k. ...but ever the questioning one...Where does it come from. And where does Baking Soda Come from? What are they made from?
I sound like my 3 year old. Why Why Why.... How How How.?
