Easy flour tortilla recipe

Our family absolutely loves flour tortillas. But, we do not all the ingredients in the store bought tortillas. I found a recipe that I altered a bit and it’s so yummy! 

Ingredients:

2 cups whole wheat flour

2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp. baking powder

2 Tbsp. softener butter

1 1/2 cups water
Directions:

Mix flour, salt and baking powder in mixing bowl. Mix butter with fingers or wisk until it looks like cornmeal. Add water and mix with wooden spoon until it comes together. Sprinkle a half cup of flour on dry surface and knead dough until smooth and elastic. Divide into 26 pieces and roll each one into a small ball. 

On stove, Preheat pan on medium heat. On lightly floured surface, Roll each ball out into thin 7 inch round tortillas. (Do not over flour the pieces) Place into preheated pan and cook for about a minute on each side. It needs to bubble before you flip it to the other side. (Do not leave in the pan for to long or else it’ll turn out hard.) I put them immediately into foil to keep warm and so they do not get hard. When I put them immediately into a foil wrap all together they stay soft and amazing for at least a week. If you have a tortilla water that’ll work great also, we just do not have one.
