Ingredients

  • 3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 0.333 cup melted butter or oil (Use melted butter or oil.)
  • 1 cup warm water

Steps

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.

  2. 2

    Mix in the melted butter or oil until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 3

    Pour in the warm water and mix until a shaggy dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the dough for 3–5 minutes, until it is smooth and soft.

  5. 5

    Cover the dough and let it rest for 30–60 minutes. This helps create a very soft tortilla.

  6. 6

    Divide the dough into 10–12 equal balls.

  7. 7

    Cover the dough balls and let them rest for another 15 minutes; this helps the dough roll more easily.

  8. 8

    Roll each ball into a very thin circle.

  9. 9

    Heat a skillet or griddle until hot, keeping it dry. Cook each tortilla for 30–45 seconds per side, until light brown spots appear.

  10. 10

    Immediately place the cooked tortillas in a towel-lined container and cover them to steam.

Notes

The recipe yields 10–12 tortillas; servings are estimated at 11 tortillas. The source lists butter or oil as alternatives but does not specify which type of oil.
