Directions
- 1Start by softening butter, use a quarter cup of butter, put some water in the microwave, dump it out, and place the cup over the butter so it starts softening.
- 2Add a cup and a half of flour to a bowl.
- 3Add the softened butter to the flour.
- 4Add a teaspoon of salt to the mixture.
- 5Crumble everything together with your hands to make a sandy mixture.
- 6Once the butter is evenly spread out in the flour mixture, add about a cup of hot water.
- 7Mix everything together until a soft dough forms.
- 8Knead the dough on the counter until it's not sticking to your hands.
- 9Divide the dough into small balls and flatten them.
- 10Dip each dough ball in flour and roll them into thin tortillas using a rolling pin.
- 11Cook the tortillas on a hot griddle for about 20-30 seconds per side.
- 12Once the tortillas start bubbling, flip them over.
- 13Use a towel to press lightly on the tortillas while cooking to help them puff up nicely.

Tips
- To soften butter quickly, heat water in a cup in the microwave, dump it out, and then place the hot cup over the butter for a few minutes.
- Press lightly with a towel while cooking the tortillas to help them puff up and cook evenly.
- Store the tortillas in a Ziploc bag to keep them soft for days, but they are best fresh off the griddle.
