Description
Nothing compares to soft, homemade Flour Tortillas made with just 5 simple pantry ingredients. These tortillas are easy, quick, and taste so fresh!
Ingredients
- For the Tortillas: 3 cups all-purpose flour (360g) 1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 cup hot water (240ml) 1/3 cup butter (75g), room temperature, cut into small pieces (or use lard, olive oil, or coconut oil)
Instructions
- Make the Dough:
Add flour, salt, and baking powder to a bowl and stir to combine. Stir in butter. Slowly mix in hot water, a little at a time, mixing until a dough forms. - Rest the Dough:
Remove dough to a lightly floured countertop and knead for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes. - Divide and Shape:
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces for medium-size (8-inch) tortillas, or 10 for larger (10-inch) tortillas. Roll each piece into a ball. (At this point, the dough can sit at room temperature for up to 2 hours.) - Roll into Circles:
Lightly flour your counter and dough. Use a rolling pin (or tortilla press) to roll the dough into a paper-thin circle. - Cook:
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tortilla to the hot, dry skillet and cook for 30-60 seconds. Flip when bubbles form. Cook again for 30 seconds or so, then remove to a plate (or tortilla warmer) and cover with a dry kitchen towel while you cook the remaining tortillas.
