You will never buy store bought flour tortillas again!! Incredibly easy and delicious, this will become a staple in your household! Makes about a dozen 8 inch tortillas
Ingredients
- 2 ½ Cups All Purpose Flour Freshly milled soft white wheat works well also but will produce more of a whole wheat tortilla. If using freshly milled use 385 grams.
- 1 Tsp Baking Powder
- ½ Tsp Sea Salt
- ¼ Cup Melted Butter
- 1 Cup Whole Milk We use raw goats milk
Instructions
- Whisk dry ingredients together in a bowl
- Melt butter in a small saucepan and add milk.
- Add milk mixture to dry ingredients and mix well.
- Let dough ball sit in a warm area for 30 min
- Knead dough for 2 min and then break in to smaller pieces (about 12)
- Use a tortilla press to press them to your desired thickness. You can alternatively use a rolling pan and roll them out on a floured surface.
- Test a couple thicknesses in the beginning to see how you like them. You can make them as small, big, thick or thin as you like.
- Heat frying pan over med heat, and place tortilla in the pan dry. Cook for about 30 seconds to one minute, until it starts to bubble up, and then flip. Repeat process until they are all cooked.
- Place in between 2 damp paper towels and wrap with foil to keep warm while you cook them, serve immediately.
- They can be stored in the refrigerator for a week or frozen for a year
Notes
Our family loves to make extra for dessert tortillas! To make dessert tortillas, reheat a tortilla in the frying pan, and top with melted butter and powdered sugar! This is a Tafoya family fave!
