Homemade Flour Tortillas Recipe
Ingredients:
3 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
1 cup Warm Water
How to make Flour Tortillas:
Using a stand mixer, whisk dry ingredients until combined.
Add water and oil and mix, scraping down the sides as needed until ball forms.
Mix for two more minutes until dough is smooth.
Turn out onto floured work surface and divide into 16 pieces and roll each into a ball. You can use any rolling pin, but for the easiest results try a non stick rolling pin like this. It is a silicone non-stick rolling pin and it makes rolling dough so much easier!
Allow to rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat skillet over medium heat.
Roll out each ball into a 6″ circle.
Cook each tortilla on first side for about a minute, until brown spots form, then flip and cook other side for about 20 seconds.
Stack cooked tortillas and wrap in a clean towel to cool.
If not being used immediately, store in a zip lock bag.
When it’s time to serve your tortillas, keep them warm on the table with a tortilla warmer.
