Flour Tortillas
Serves 8
Directions
- 1Combine all-purpose flour, butter, oil, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.
- 2Pour in boiling water and mix with a utensil until cool enough to handle.
- 3Knead the dough by hand until everything is well combined; it does not need to be super smooth.
- 4Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- 5Divide the dough into eight equal portions, approximately 52 grams each, and keep them covered.
- 6Preheat a skillet to slightly less than medium heat (level four on a five-level stove).
- 7Roll out the tortillas halfway, coat them in flour, and stack them. Flip the stack over and finish rolling each one out to give them extra time to rest.
- 8Cook the tortilla on the first side for about 10 seconds, then flip. Cook until brown spots appear on the bottom, then flip once more to finish cooking.
- 9Transfer the finished tortilla to a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm and soft.
