Ingredients

Scale

375g flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 1/2 tsp salt

56g grass-fed butter (4 Tbsp)

1 cup warm water (110ºF)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined. 
  2. Create a well in the center of the flour and add the softened butter and warm water into the well. Fold it all together with a spatula or mix with a dough whisk until it becomes a shaggy dough.
  3. Flour a clean counter and put the shaggy dough onto it. Flour your hands then knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes a smooth ball. 
  4. Cover it and let it rest for 10 minutes to give time for the gluten to relax. This will help to roll out / press the tortillas.
  5. Cut the dough into 14 portions and roll them into balls.
  6. Use a tortilla press or rolling pin to roll the dough into flat circles, about 8 inches.
  7. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
  8. Cook a tortilla for 30-60 seconds on each side until slightly golden. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, wiping flour off the pan / rubbing the pan with oil a couple times throughout the whole process.
  9. Serve immediately and store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
