HM Flour Tortillas

Mix together:
2 cups unbleached flour
1 teaspoon Kosher or Fine Sea Salt
1 teaspoon Baking Powder

I store my non-hydrogenated shortening in the refrigerator (for biscuits,) so I added to my 2 cup measuring cup:

2/3 cup filtered water
and pieces of shortening to take the water level to 1 cup (1/3 cup shortening) (The cold shortening shaves off, like hard chocolate.)

I couldn't get the camera to cooperate to show you this step..

Pour water/shortening into flour mixture. Knead 6 minutes. Cut into 8 sections. Roll each section into a ball. Roll each ball out, onto a floured surface.

Cook on a dry hot skillet for 1-2 minutes, on each side, until golden brown.

4. 5 whole basil leaves

7. 1 Tablespoon Aged Balsamic Vinegar
8. 4 cups Vegetable Better Than Bouillon, prepared into broth
9. 4 cups Heavy Cream, cold
10. 2 Tablespoons Arrowroot Powder

Cut Tomatoes, in half, length-wise, and lay on baking sheet, cut-side down. Top with items 2-5. Drizzle on items 6-7.

Roast 375 degrees, for 45 minutes.

Let cool, slightly, so you can peel the tomato skins off (they will be loose.)

Puree everything on the tray, in blender, magic bullet, or wish immersion stick blender.

Pour into pan. Add broth and stir, to combine.

Zip (Blender or Magic Bullet) arrowroot powder into Cold Cream, for a few seconds.
