2 cups white or wheat flour (I use one cup of each) + more flour for rolling out tortillas
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup oil, butter or lard (I use oil because it is healthiest)
1 cup boiling water
Pour flour, salt, oil and water into a mixing bowl. Mix with a spoon. When cool enough to touch, knead ingredients into a ball. Form smaller balls, about two inches in diameter. Sprinkle flour on a flat surface. Place dough on the surface and cover lightly with flour. Pat it and turn it over. Sprinkle more flour on it. Using a rolling pin, roll out flat. Place rolled out dough on a hot skillet (I set my burner between medium and high.) When dough turns slightly darker, flip it over. When it bubbles, flip it again. Press bubbles down with a soft cloth, creating larger bubbles. Remove from heat. Makes about 8-9 tortillas.
*If using whole wheat flour, let dough rest five minutes before rolling out.
