Homemade Flour Tortillas
Quick and easy homemade flour tortilla recipe for soft and fluffy tortillas you can make in a flash!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¾ cup warm water
- 1 tsp butter or oil
Instructions
- Mix flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium sized bowl.
- Add warm water. You should get a thick, pliable dough that looks similar to a thick biscuit dough.
- Roll the dough into a ball then divide into 10 equal sections (8 sections for larger tortillas). Roll the dough out thinly on a well floured surface. You may find it easier to pick up the dough with a flat metal spatula since the thin dough will break easily on transfer.
- Preheat cast iron skillet or griddle to medium heat. Melt butter on skillet top then place tortilla dough on hot surface. Allow to cook for about 1-2 minutes. Flip the tortilla and cook an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Repeat the process until all the tortillas have been cooked. Wrap the tortillas in towel as you cook them to keep them warm.
