tortilla – Flourishing Home with Hannah

Making tortillas at home is super easy. I also really love the fact that you know every ingredient that is in them. Takes about 30 minutes from beginning to end so you can make them last minute.

Ingredients:

4 Cups All-Purpose Flour

1 tsp Salt

2 tsp Baking Powder

2 Tbsp softened butter (I used salted)

1 1/2 Cup Water

Directions:

Put flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl and whisk together. Put the softened butter in and whisk together well. Add the water in slowly and mix together. Place onto a lightly floured counter. Knead the dough for a minute or two and then divide into 20 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.

Preheat a large cast iron pan (Or skillet pan) over medium heat. Roll a ball into a thin round tortilla. Place onto the preheated pan and cook until it bubbles, about 1-2 minutes. Flip to the other side and cook for another minute. Place warm tortilla onto a plate covered with parchment paper. I place a dry and clean kitchen towel over the cooked tortillas.

And, enjoy!

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.
