Homemade Butter Tortillas

by Juliana Pace Allen

Ingredients:
- 4 to 4 1/2 C white flour
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 C butter (cold)
- 1 1/4 C water

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder.
2. Using an electric mixer, pulse dry ingredients with the butter until butter is well distributed. Use cold butter because melting the butter beforehand will change the end result.
3. Add water gradually (You may not need the full amount) until you have reached slightly sticky consistency
4. Take enough dough to form a 1 1/2 inch ball. Using a well floured surface, roll out the dough ball as thin as possible. 
5. Preheat dutch oven for 15 minutes. I used 20 - 25 charcoal but this varies depending on the outside temperature and wind.
6. Cook each tortilla for about 2 minutes a side. When you see small golden spots on one side, its time to flip. 
7. Best served warm with butter.
