Soft Flour Tortilla's
Who doesn't love amazing fresh tortilla's. ** I like to have all the items we are needing out so I can explain to the girls what we are doing and our oldest always like to see everything, so when she says “can you show me Mama?” I can say right away “of course honey”.
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour we typically use Kamut or Einkorn
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup warm water I have substituted for milk as well
- ⅓ cup neutral flavor oil we use butter
Instructions
- In a medium bowl combine flour, salt, and baking powder
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add oil (butter) and water (milk) store until a shaggy ball of dough forms
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until the dough is nice and smooth, about 5 mins. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 20mins to 2hrs.
- Divide the dough into 16 equals portions. Turn each piece to coat with flour. Form each piece of dough into a ball and flatten with the palm of your hand. Cover your dough.
- Heat a large skillet on medium heat
- Use a light amount of flour & tortilla press/rolling pin to roll each dough piece into a rough circle about 6-7 inches. Don’t stack uncooked tortillas they will stick to each other!
- When the skillet is hot, place one tortilla in the hot skillet and cook for 45 seconds to a min! Should be light brown spots & starting to bubble! Flip and do the same to the other side!
- Remove the cooked tortillas & place in a covered container—this will keep them nice and soft.
- Enjoy them warm or allow them to cool and store in an air tight container!
