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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.)
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
