Homemade Flour Tortillas
Servings 15 small tortillas
Equipment
- Large skillet
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup bread flour
- 2½ tsp baking powder
- 1¼ tsp fine sea salt
- ½ cup salted butter, softened & diced
- 1 cup HOT water
Instructions
- Sift the all-purpose flour, bread flour, baking powder, and sea salt into a large bowl.
- Add the softened butter and, using your hands, mix the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbles.
- Add the hot water slowly to the mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until the mixture is combined and forms a ball shape.
- Knead the dough for about 3 minutes or until the dough can hold its shape and is less sticky. Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rest for 1 hour.
- After the dough has rested, divide the dough evenly into 15 smaller balls. Cover with a towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Using a well-floured rolling pin, take a ball and roll it out to a thin circle, or whatever shape you can manage. Roll the dough out as thin as you can, then carefully place it in the HOT skillet.
- Cook for 30-45 seconds or until bubbly and golden. Flip and cook the other side until golden. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
- Wrap the cooked tortilla in a clean towel until ready to eat. Serve and enjoy.
- To reheat the tortillas, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 1-15 seconds, or wrap them in foil and warm them in the oven.
