A few quick notes
1. Let the batter thicken briefly
Rest the whisked batter for a minute or two before judging whether it needs the allowed extra liquid and egg.
2. Tilt the pan immediately
As soon as batter goes in, tilt the skillet rapidly in different directions to spread it evenly.
3. Cook with a lid
Keep the skillet covered for each side, flipping after the edges are golden and bubbles form in the middle.
Get to know the ingredients
Coconut flour
Give coconut flour its short standing time after mixing, since the directions note that it naturally thickens the batter.
Milk choice
Almond milk or coconut milk beverage are recommended choices for the batter, with the listed adjustment if needed.
Optional gelatin
If using gelatin, sprinkle it in last while whisking instead of dumping it, then add the extra almond milk specified.

How to make it
0 of 3 steps completeMake room for Coconut Flour Tortillas
Review ingredients in your pantry before anything is added. Meal plans use your household size; grocery-only additions use the servings selected above.
The last little job
Brown the second side
After flipping, cover and cook the second side until browned, then repeat with the remaining batter.
A little more help as you go
Look for a runny batter
Right before cooking, batter should pour easily; the directions allow additional milk and eggs in equal proportions if needed.
Grease the small skillet lightly
Use the listed small skillet over medium to medium-high heat and grease lightly before pouring the batter.
A few questions you might have
Should the batter look like thick dough?
It should be very runny and easy to pour just before cooking, after the short standing time.
What tells me the first side is ready?
Look for golden edges and bubbles in the middle; the edges curl inward when you lift the lid.
Does gelatin go in with the first whisking?
Add the optional gelatin last, sprinkling and whisking to avoid clumps before adding its extra almond milk.
How much batter goes into each tortilla?
Pour the stated quarter cup into the skillet, then immediately tilt to distribute it in a thin layer.
Do I uncover the second side to cook?
Cover again after flipping and cook until the second side has browned, following the same short covered approach.
Storage & reheating safety
For cooked, perishable leftovers, refrigerate within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F), using shallow containers for prompt cooling. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below, use refrigerated leftovers within 3–4 days, and reheat hot leftovers to 165°F, checked with a food thermometer. Follow any shorter package limit.
These are general safety limits, not a tested storage or freezing recommendation for this particular dish. USDA leftovers guidance · Safe cooking temperatures
