Tortillas - Flour




Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 Tablespoons oil
1/2 cup hot water

Combine flour, salt, & baking powder in a bowl.
Stir in the oil until well distributed.
Stir in hot water, and keep working the dough, until it starts to form a ball.


Transfer to a flat surface and knead for about 30 seconds until it forms a smooth ball.



Cut dough into 8 equal pieces, i cut it into half, and then in half again until i got 8 equal pieces.





Form each piece into a smooth ball, i keep them covered with a piece of plastic wrap, while i work with 1 piece at a time, this keeps them from drying out.



Start preheating an ungreased pan to medium-high.

Roll each ball super thin, i use a small 6 inch saucer for a template, and use sheets of wax paper to separate them, until i get them all rolled out.



Place each one on the pan, it only takes about a minute on each side to turn them golden brown.



Set your oven to just "warm", and place a plate inside to hold your finished tortillas. when you are finished, wrap in wax paper or plastic wrap to keep them from drying out. Warning: after you make these from scratch, you will never buy them pre-made again! lol.
