Flour Tortillas

Mix dry ingredients then add wet ingredients with mixer at medium.

Mix for 1 minute, scraping the sides of the bowl when necessary.

When a ball begins to form (about a minute), decrease mixer to low.

Continue until smooth (about a minute).


Divide in half 3 times to get 8 equal balls.

Flatten the balls then cover with a towel for 10 minutes.


Heat a frying pan on medium until drops of water dance.

This will take about 5 minutes -- the dough will have been covered for 15 minutes total.


Roll each ball very thin, cook for 1 minute, then flip and cook for 30 seconds.

The top will have little bubbles and the bottom a few brown spots.

If flour starts to accumulate, wipe out the pan between tortillas.
