Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Rolling pin
  • Non-stick skillet or griddle

Ingredients
  

  • 400 g / 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 230 ml / 7.77oz warm water
  • 60 g / 0.22 cup soft butter
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Add the soft butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually pour in the warm water while stirring continuously. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  • Turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball, and cover them with a clean kitchen towel. Let them rest for 15 minutes.
  • After resting, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place a rolled-out tortilla onto the hot skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear and the tortilla puffs up slightly.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls, stacking the cooked tortillas on a plate and covering them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.
  • Serve the homemade tortillas warm with your favorite fillings or dishes. Enjoy your delicious homemade tortillas!

Notes

Ensure the skillet or griddle is adequately heated before cooking the tortillas to achieve the desired texture.
