In reply to LeighAnn. Hi LeighAnn, Yes, 13.7g Carbs per tortilla, and as it says in the recipe, 5.4g Net Carbs.

It says 13.7g Carbs. That’s per tortilla, right? What’s the net carbs per tortilla?

In reply to Deborah Krueger. I’m going to order more carbalose and keep playing with the recipe. I’ll figure it out eventually! This is the best keto flour tortilla recipe I’ve found, thanks.

In reply to Susan. Probably still too much liquid otherwise sorry, I do not know.

In reply to Deborah Krueger.

I usually use weight rather than volume and 1 cup of carbalose weighs about 3.5 oz. Since I halved the recipe and the 7 oz resulted in such a liquid Mass I needed to add another 2.5 oz to get the right consistency. Soft but not sticky.

The shrinkage came into play as I peeled the tortillas off the parchment rounds in my hand. The dough contracted from the 8 inches I had pressed out with my tortilla maker into maybe 5 inches. Tasted great but I’m not sure why this happened…….

In reply to Susan. Susan, Not really sure of the answer to your problem since I can’t tell what your proportions were, but if you look closely at my pic they are also relatively thick but they did not shrink. So???

I made these last week, cut the recipe in half because I was low on carbalose.
My mixture in the food processor was nearly liquid so I added more carbalose until the texture was right and not sticky. Rested as per instructions in 2 pieces versus individual balls of dough because I used my tortilla press with parchment rounds, 8”.

Flavor was great but I had one big problem. They came out of the press thin but as I peeled off the paper the tortillas really contracted resulting in a thick street taco size tortilla! What can I do to prevent this? Help!

In reply to Juan Jorge. Hi Juan, Just gives it a better mouth feel and more like real flour would.

What effect do Xanthan Gum and Guar Gum have on the texture and/or taste of the tortilla?

In reply to Julie. Yes, you certainly may.
