Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons of butter softened
  • 1/2 cup of warm water

Instructions

  • Combine flour, baking powder, salt and butter in a medium bowl.
  • Gradually add water and mix until a smooth dough is formed. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
  • Roll dough into one and one-half inch balls.
  • Set on a plate or baking sheet and cover.
  • Let rest for ten minutes.
  • Flatten one ball at a time between two small plates and then roll into a six inch circle.
  • The flatter you roll the dough the more it will resemble soft tacos, thicker dough is more like a gordita.
  • Place the tortillas on a griddle and cook over a medium heat until the tortillas turn white, then flip and repeat.
  • Ready to eat.
