Anweisungen

*I recommend making these using the metric/weight measurements, to ensure they turn out perfect!

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: Remove dough to a lightly floured counter top and knead for just 1-2 minutes until smooth. Cover with a kitchen towel and rest for 10 minutes.

Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, for medium-size (8’’) tortillas, or 10 for larger (10’’) tortillas. Roll each into a ball. (At this point the dough can sit at room temp for up to 2 hours).

Roll into circle: Lightly flour your counter and dough and use a rolling pin (or tortilla press) to roll the dough into a paper-thin circle.

Cook: Heat a skillet over medium-high. Add tortilla to hot, dry skillet and cook for 30-60 seconds; flip when bubbles form. Cook again for just 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.
