Servings: 20 tortillas
Calories: 94kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 1 ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 cup water
- 5 tablespoons salted butter, cubed
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour and the salt.
- Use a fork to combine the peasized cubes of butter into the flour mixture, creating a coarse meal mixture.
- Add the water a little at a time and knead the dough slowly against the sides of the bowl a few times until it forms a smooth ball and all the flour is incorporated.
- Divide the dough into 20 equal pieces, rolling each into a ball, making each ball as close in size as the others. Cover the dough balls with a damp towel for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
- Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat on the stovetop as you roll out the balls of dough.
- To roll out the balls of dough, add flour to your work surface and use your hands to flatten the balls into round discs. Each will be about 6 inches, depending on the thickness of each tortilla, but keep them on the thinner side.
- Once the skillet is hot, lay a tortilla on it and cook for 30 seconds on each side. It WILL bubble up, so don't be alarmed when that happens!
- Stack the tortillas on a plate and cover them with a clean towel. Serve warm.
