Ingredients
  • 3 c flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter or lard
  • 1⅛ cup hot water or milk
Instructions
  1. Combine dry ingredients.
  2. Cut in butter or lard until only small lumps remain.
  3. Add hot water or milk, adjusting amount as needed until you are able to form a dough, soft but still firm enough to be handled.
  4. Let rest, covered, for 20 min.
  5. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.
  6. Cover the balls of dough with plastic and let rest for 10 minutes.
  7. Preheat griddle to 400 degrees F or frying pan to medium-high heat. Gather the remaining equipment needed.
  8. Roll into large, thin flour tortillas of about 10 inch diameter, flipping a couple of times while you roll.
  9. Let each tortilla rest for 1 minute.
  10. Fry on dry griddle or frying pan for about 45 seconds until surface is bubbly and a couple of light brown spots have formed underneath.
  11. Flip and fry on the other side as well.
  12. Transfer to a plate covered with moist paper towel or kitchen towel, and top with another moist towel and plate to keep tortillas soft and hot.
  13. Transfer each finished tortilla to the plate to form a stack.
