If a recipe calls for a teaspoon of melted butter to be added to
the other dry ingredients, or whatever, how do you melt that
small amount? Sauce pan? Seems impractical for such a small
amount without a lot of waste. Maybe put the butter in the
measuring spoon in a plate for 5 - 10 seconds in a microwave?
Melting over a gas range burner wouldn't work because I use
plastic measuring spoons. There's probably a simple way. I'd
Google but can't think of a good search phrase offhand.

Microwave it in a small bowl first that you will then add dry ingredients.

That is a very small amount, and a good percentage of the butter

will stay in whatever you melt it in. What are you making?
If the dry ingredients have a lot more volume than the butter,
I'd consider using vegetable oil just for convenience.
Other options include melting the butter in a bowl and adding
the dry ingredients to the butter, but that might result in
incomplete mixing.
I'd also consider melting about a tablespoon of butter, measuring
off a teaspoon, and then finding some other use for the other
2 teaspoons of butter. Melted and re-solidified butter is a little
weird in texture because the water fraction doesn't go back into
the fat, but it's perfectly tasty.

Tortillas with a paleo recipe using coconut oil (mine is
solid), coconut flour and other stuff. It calls for a tsp of
coconut oil, melted and added to the other ingredients - eggs,
water, tapioca starch & salt. I prefer it because it uses a
batter you pour in a small frying pan like a pancake, not a
bread-like combination where you remove small balls of the
ingredients and roll them out and fry or bake. Much simpler.

I'm surprised it tells you to mix the fat with the dry team;
it's generally considered part of the wet team.
I'd probably put a glob of coconut oil in a small glass dish,
melt it, spoon out a teaspoon, and let the remainder cool and
solidify again. Every time melted coconut oil was needed I'd
re-melt it until it was all gone, then wash the dish and start
over the next time.

You are correct. My stupid mistake. The recipe calls for the coconut oil
to be melted and then mixed with the eggs and water, then the other dry

calls for one tsp of melted butter. Next you fry eggs spoon out the

Simple Paleo Tortillas
Preparation 10 mins
Cook Time 5 mins
Serves Three 8 " tortillas
Ingredients
2 large eggs
1 tsp (5 mL) melted ghee (sub: melted coconut oil)
1 tbsp (15 mL) water
1/4 cup (33 g) arrowroot powder
1 tsp (3 g) coconut flour
Pinch sea salt
*If making crepes for a sweet recipe, add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
extract
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk in the melted ghee
and water.
Add the dry ingredients—arrowroot, coconut flour and salt—and beat
well to combine.
In a small skillet (8") over medium heat, pour in about a third of
the batter and immediately roll it around to evenly coat the bottom. The
tortilla should start to pull away from the edges as it cooks.
Cook for 1 minute on each side.
If saving for later, cool completely and store in a plastic bag or
airtight glasslock container.

Ken is a diabetic and this may be a recipe he's gotten

melted butter it would be simple to help you. If I peridically used a
small amount of melted butter I'd place a few Tbls in a small jelly
jar, melt in the microwave, spoon out what I need, then cap the jar
and refrigerate. Next time do the same with the remainder, takes mere
seconds to melt a few Tbls of butter in a microwave. Depending how
often you use that tiny amount of butter you can even place that jar
in the freezer, it'll keep a lot longer.
I would suggest preparing a quantity of tortillas all at once and
freezing them, then use as needed... save yourself a lot of time and
effort.
Why don't you simply buy tortillas, corn tortillas
don't contain more than corn, water, and a wee bit of vegetable oil.
Buy these; organic, glutten free, and kosher:
https://www.amazon.com/Del-Campo-Soft-Corn-Tortillas/dp/B00DQC0TTQ/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1493493973&sr=8-1&keywords=corn%2Btortillas%2Bgluten%2Bfree&th=1
I don't think it pays to make just a few tortillas. If you are near a
Latino neighborhood you can buy many brands of freshly made that day
still hot tortillas for cheap, and the ingredients are listed on the
package. Where I lived previously there was a large Latino
population, I could buy maybe twenty brands of locally made tortillas,
different sizes, different thicknesses up to gorditas... purchased in
the morning they were still hot, mountains of them displayed

I see that now. coconut oil is much easier to melt. Just run the jar under
some hot water near the top. Won't take long for a teaspoon of it to melt.
And he will soon find out as the weather warms (unless perhaps he has AC in
the kitchen) that it will be liquid then.

I've used the flour tortillas, store bought, and have
made just plain sandwiches with them. Pretty darn good
for sandwiches. I know at my local Kroger they stock
a vegan cheese but have no idea how it tastes. If you
have a Walmart superstore, Kroger, or Publix near you
check out their vegan/organic aisle.

Whole foods carry some nice nut cheese but they are expensive. If you have a
food processor, you can make them at home. This one actually calls for a
blender.
http://www.food.com/recipe/best-vegan-nacho-cheese-sauce-296110
What I used to make was very similar except that I think I used a little
orange or lemon juice and hot peppers. I used to make two different kinds.
One used cashews and the other, macadamia nuts. Mine was a raw recipe so it
wasn't cooked. Just whizzed up in the food processor. There are plenty of
other recipes out there if this one won't work for you.
I am not sure what all stores you have besides Walmart. I don't think they
sell the Daiya but most other stores in this area do. Some stores don't have
it with the regular cheeses though. For instance, one Albertsons has it on
peg hooks above the produce. Another Albertsons has it with the yogurt and
butter. Their website probably has a search function to show who sells it
near you.

I'll check into that.
I checked for vegan cheese sales locally but didn't think to look for a
recipe. I've never made or tried to make cheese. I don't recall my parents
doing so when we lived on the farm either.
> I am not sure what all stores you have besides Walmart.
About all are Safeway and Albertson. So far, If anyone has something it's
been the Walmart Neighborhood Market.

Might just need patience. I tried it and thought it did nothing. Then I
scrolled down. Bottom right has a spot for zip code. Put mine in and again
thought it did nothing but a couple of minutes later, it appeared. Says both
Safeway and Albertsons has it. Might not be with the other cheeses though.
You might have to ask in the store.
