Make the Flour Tortilla Dough
Mix the flour, salt and heavy cream in a bowl.
Place the mixture on a floured work surface. The dough will be dry to the touch and the flour will not be fully incorporated.
Knead the dough for 10 to 15 minutes, or until all of the flour blends into the dough and forms into a ball. The dough will be slightly sticky at first.
When the dough becomes smooth, cover with a kitchen towel. Let the dough rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
Heat the Tortillas
Set a nonstick skillet on medium high heat.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each into a ball and cover the 8 sections of dough with a kitchen towel.
Take one ball and press it into a flat disc with the palm of your hands or a tortilla press.
Using a rolling pin, roll out the disc into as thin of a circle as you can, about 6 inches wide.
Place each thin tortilla disc on the hot skillet and toast for 5 seconds.
Turn over the tortilla and toast the second side for 5 seconds.
Turn the tortilla again and toast the first side for another 5 seconds.
Turn the tortilla again and toast the second side for 5 more seconds.
The tortilla should be golden brown and starting to puff up and bubble in places. Flip it one last time. It is ready.
Stack the tortillas on a towel-lined plate. Cover with a clean kitchen towel to let the tortillas steam and keep warm before using to make dishes like quesadillas, burritos, and more.
