Flour Tortilla

These are so easy to make. Stores well and when slightly heated becomes soft and flexible. These are great to use for breakfast wraps, with any sandwich fillings, quesadillas, mini pizzas etc.

  • 3 cups flour (whole wheat or white)
  • 1 Tbsp. baking powder
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup hot water

Mix flour, baking powder and salt in bowl. Melt butter in hot water. Mix liquid into dry and knead with hands into smooth ball. Cover and let rest for 10 -15 minutes. Divide dough into 12 pieces forming small balls. Let rest covered another 10 minutes. Heat a cast iron or heavy bottom pan, brush with small amount of oil. On a slightly floured surface roll out each ball to a 10 -12 inch round (they need to be rolled as thin as possible). Place in heated pan, flip when you see it start to bubble and is slightly brown, cook on second side and flip back. Continue rolling and cooking until all balls are done. Let cool on rack. Store in plastic bag or airtight container in fridge. When ready to use heat slightly in microwave to soften, (approx. 10 seconds).
