Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ cup all-purpose gluten free flour blend (we used Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten Free Baking Flour)
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum (omit if your blend contains it)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (reduce to ½ teaspoon if your blend includes it)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons shortening
  • 3/4 cup water, plus more if needed

Method
 

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt.
  2. Using a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until the shortening is the size of small peas.
  3. Add 1/2 cup water and give it a good stir. The dough will be dry. Add in the remaining 1/4 cup water and stir.
  4. Work the dough with your hands until it comes together into a ball.
  5. Place a piece of wax paper on your counter. Sprinkle gluten-free flour over the surface. Turn your dough onto the floured wax paper.
  6. Knead the dough with your hands until smooth. If the dough is too wet, add additional flour and knead it; if the dough feels dry, knead 1 tablespoon of water into it.
  7. Heat a cast iron skillet over low-medium heat.
  8. Roll dough into 12, 2-inch dough balls. Place one dough ball onto your floured wax paper. Place another piece of wax paper on top and using a rolling pin, roll into about 1/8th thick.

Notes

- Don't overwork the dough; knead just until smooth and pliable, usually 5-7 minutes. Over-kneading can make them tough.
- Use a good quality gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. If your blend doesn't contain xanthan gum, add it as specified for elasticity.
- For best results, cook the wraps on a preheated cast iron skillet until lightly browned and slightly puffed, about 1-2 minutes per side.
