Simple Homemade Flour Tortillas

SIMPLE HOMEMADE FLOUR TORTILLAS
~North Carolina Cooking

2 c. All purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. Baking Powder
3 tbs. Olive oil
3/4 c. hot tap water

In a bowel, combine flour, salt, baking powder. Using you hands, mix in the olive oil. This mix will look crumbly or course. Now add the water. Mix with a spoon until it forms a dough.

Then turn dough onto a flour dusted surface. Knead dough until it becomes soft and slightly sticky(about 5mins.).
Let the dough rest for about 10 mins.

Now, pinch off quarter sized pieces. Taking a flour dusted rolling pin, roll into circles. They don't have to be perfect, this gives them a homemade feel anyway. But try to get them rolled out pretty thin.

I use a 10 inch cast iron flat griddle but any flat pan on the stove will work. Preheat the griddle on low med. Get it good and hot and (DO NOT USE ANY OIL OR COOKING SPRAYS) keep it dry. Finely, cook on both sides until there are little light and dark brown specks or blisters on both sides like you would see on other tortillas.
