8 a.m.– noon
Come to our second celebration of this season - the Tortilla Grande Festival! Gilbert Gasper, The Tortilla Man, will demonstrate making his tortillas around 9:30 a.m. There will be samples and you will be able to buy them at 11 a.m. (until sold out).
Juan Jorge, our other tortilla maker, will also show his skills. KAIR Radio, with Brian as DJ, will do a live broadcast from the market on Saturday where you can sign up for the Food, Fuel and Football give away ($500 of meat from Cash Saver, $500 of fuel from Max’s BP and a pair of Chiefs v. Broncos Monday night football tickets courtesy of Atchison United Way). Check out the corn, peaches, donut peaches, and many, many other vegetables, fruits, baked goods, and beverages. More new vendors will be at the market. The Market Manager, Debbie Genova, (green and white striped tent) can swipe your credit, debit or SNAP cards. We participate in the Double Up Food Program and the Kansas Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program. Buy your Farmers Market gift cards ($10) from Debbie and we accept Chamber of Commerce gift certificates. You can support your Farmers' Market by buying a

10 C plain white flour 1 tsp baking powder per each cup flour (so 10 tsp for this recipe) Mix this up with hands or fork. 1 stick butter (or margarine) MELTED. (can be salted or unsalted) 6 C water (measure out 8 cups but only add 6 here) Pour water into melted butter Pour water/butter into flour mixture and mix by hand using kneading technique. If too dry to knead, keep adding some of the remaining water. The dough will feel like biscuit dough. When mixed divide it into 2” diameter balls for rolling. Heat the cast iron skillet to hot temperature, ready to cook rolled tortilla. Roll each ball to a round shape. the usual rolling pin with handles is NOT the right kind for this rolling. Gilbert says that there is not enough pressure placed on the dough because the pin rolls away from you if you hold the handles. He uses a 12-14” piece of plastic conduit. You could try using your rolling pin IF you don’t use the handles. Cook the tortillas as they get rolled in the hot skillet. There is NO oil in the skillet. The tortilla will bubble slightly when it needs to be turned to other side. Then just 5-10 seconds on second side. Roll out the next tortilla as the first one cooks and keep repeating.
