Homemade Tortillas

I never eat store bought tortillas. You’ll need a cast iron pan & a rolling pin. After kneading the dough in step #4, you can cover the dough with plastic and let it rest for 10 minutes or longer. It seems to make it a little easier to handle. Always aerate your flour before measuring. - Jenny Jones
Ingredients
Instructions
Combine flour, salt, & baking powder in a bowl.
Stir in the oil with a spoon until well distributed.
Stir in hot water.
Transfer to a flat surface and knead for about 30 seconds until it forms a smooth ball.
Start preheating an ungreased cast iron pan to medium-high.
Cut dough into 8 equal pieces.
Form each piece into a smooth ball.
Roll each ball super thin. Try to use very little or no flour as this helps the dough stick to the counter a bit so it's easier to roll thin.
Place each one in the hot pan and cook about a minute, turning once with tongs or a spatula. You can press down any large bubbles.
Place immediately under a clean kitchen towel.
Once they cool, keep refrigerated in airtight Ziploc bag.
