Ingredients:
* 3 cups all-purpose flour (360g)
* 1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt (9g)
* 1 teaspoon baking powder (4g)
* 1 cup hot water (240ml)
* 1/3 cup butter (75g), room temperature, cut into small pieces, or use lard, olive oil, or coconut oil*

2. Rest: Remove dough to a lightly floured counter top and knead for just 1-2 minutes until smooth. Cover with a kitchen towel and rest for 10 minutes.�
3. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, for medium-size (8’’) tortillas, or 10 for larger (10’’) tortillas. Roll each into a ball. (At this point the dough can sit at room temp for up to 2 hours).�
4. Roll into circle: Lightly flour your counter and dough and use a rolling pin (or tortilla press) to roll the dough into a paper-thin circle.�
5. Cook: Heat a skillet over medium-high. Add tortilla to hot, dry skillet and cook for 30-60 seconds; flip when bubbles form. Cook again for just 30 seconds or so, then remove to a plate (or tortilla warmer) and cover with a dry kitchen towel while you cook the remaining tortillas.�
