Flour Tortilla Recipe

3 C unbleached flour, whole wheat flour, or half unbleached white and half whole wheat
2 t baking powder
2 t sea salt
1/2 C butter
1 C HOT water

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. With a fork or a pastry cutter, cut in butter until the mixture is crumbly. Add about 1 C hot water to the mixture or just enough to make the ingredients look moist.
With a fork, mix making sure to rub the dough against the sides of the mixing bowl to gather any clinging dough. If the dough still sticks to the side of the bowl, add a couple more tablespoons of flour until the dough forms a soft round shape. Cover with a dish towel and let rest 15 - 30 minutes.
Take the dough and pull it apart into 12 balls. Lightly flour your rolling area and roll each ball with a rolling pin to about 1/8 inch thickness.
Place each tortilla on a medium hot cast iron skillet. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until tortilla does not look doughy.

My tips:
I boiled my water so it was very hot before I added it to the dry ingredients. I let my dough rest while I was heating up my skillet or griddle. You can also use an electric skillet or griddle. If you will be using the tortillas in another meal such as enchiladas, I wouldn't cook them all the way on the griddle. If you only need 6 tortillas just half the recipe.

I made Ground Turkey and Cheese Enchiladas with these tortillas, and they were delicious.
