Instructions
- Mix all ingredients well until a dough ball forms (about 3 minutes).
- If dough is a little crumbly add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until dough holds together well.
- Let dough sit, covered, for about 2 hours.
- Uncover and separate dough into sixteen pieces. Form the pieces into small, slightly flattened balls.
- Place a floured (using sprouted corn flour) plastic bag (gallon-sized zip lock) on a bread board.
- Place a ball of dough on top, then top this with another floured plastic bag and roll the tortilla out with a rolling pin.
- You can also use a tortilla press in place of the rolling pin.
- Slowly remove the top plastic bag, flip the tortilla over into your hand and slowly remove the second plastic bag.
- Place a dry iron skillet on a burner set at medium heat. Place a tortilla on the skillet.
- Once you begin to see some bubbles appear, take a spatula and flip the tortilla over to cook on the other side.
- Once the second side is a little browned, remove it from the skillet and place on a plate.
- Repeat the process and simply stack your finished tortillas. Store in zip lock bag.
- I refrigerate mine if not using them all.

- In another small bowl, combine buttermilk, water, bacon fat, and creme fraiche or sour cream. Blend well.
- Add eggs, and mix until just combined.

- Let batter sit, covered, on counter for 30 minutes.
- If batter has become stiff, add extra buttermilk and lightly stir to achieve original batter consistency when first mixed.
- Heat lard or tallow in a cast-iron skillet over medium-low to medium heat.
- Use about a 1/4 cup of the batter for large cakes, or 1/8 cup for small cakes.
- Cook them as you would sprouted breakfast pancakes, allowing them to slowly cook on one side for several minutes until golden brown.
- Flip and cook for another few minutes.
- Replenish fat as needed, to maintain a generous film in the pan.
