Directions
- 1Add 3 cups of flour to a big bowl.
- 2Add 2 teaspoons of baking powder.
- 3Add 1 and a half teaspoons of salt.
- 4Add 5 tablespoons of room temperature butter.
- 5Add 1 cup of hot water.
- 6Mix until it's a smooth ball.
- 7Take a warm damp towel and cover it for 10 minutes.
- 8Once it's been 10 minutes, flour your surface and transfer your dough to it.
- 9Sprinkle your dough with flour and roll it up into a ball.
- 10Take a knife and cut it into 12 pieces.
- 11Take each individual piece and roll it up into a ball.
- 12Place the ball on your floured surface and dust it with a little flour.
- 13Roll this out until it's about 6 to 8 inches in diameter.
- 14Get a skillet or a thick bottom pan, set the temperature to medium high heat and add just a drizzle of olive oil.
- 15Wait until your skillet is warmed up, but once it is, take your tortilla and just lay it on the skillet.
- 16Let that go for about 45 seconds or until it starts to bubble up, then we're gonna flip it over.
- 17Once it starts to bubble up, flip it over for another 30 to 60 seconds.
- 18After about another 45 seconds it's done.
- 19Once the tortilla is done cooking, put it on a plate and cover it with a towel.
