Now add hot water to the flour, mix well and kneed few minutes to form a smooth dough. Cover with any lid or cloth and let it rest 5 to 10 minutes.
• Now make small equal sized balls from the dough. Lightly flour the surface and the rolling pin . Using the rolling pin flatten each ball and gently roll them into rounds ( Do not press hard while rolling) . To make even sized rounds, use a lid of a medium sized jar and cut into round shape. Repeat the step until the dough is done. Heat the tawa / griddle . Once its hot place the rolled tortilla on the hot tawa and wait until it is bubbly. Turn and cook the other side until slightly golden . Make sure both side are cooked and light brown spots appear. Place the cooked tortilla in tortilla warmer/ hot case.

Steps:

• Briefly stir together the flour, sea salt and baking powder together in a large mixing bowl until combined. Add the hot water and coconut oil and stir until a shaggy dough begins to form.
• Turn the dough onto a floured surface, and use your hands to knead the dough for 1-2 minutes until it is fairly smooth.
• Form the dough into a round ball and pat it down slightly so that it forms an evenly-thick disk. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
• Use a knife to cut the dough into 12 equal wedges. Use your hands to roll a wedge into a roughly-shaped ball. Then use a rolling pin or a tortilla press to roll the dough ball out into a 6-inch tortilla.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the tortilla and cook for 30-60 seconds, until tiny little bubbles begin to appear on the surface and/or golden spots appear on the bottom of the tortilla. Flip and cook on the second side for about 30 seconds, or until the bottom is also slightly golden. Then transfer to a clean plate or bowl, cover with a clean dishtowel, and set aside. Repeat with the remaining dough balls. (I like to roll out the next tortilla while the current one is cooking, to save time.) Also, if the skillet seems to be getting too hot and cooking the tortillas too quickly, just reduce the heat.
• Serve warm and enjoy! I recommend keeping the tortillas covered with a dishtowel or stored in a tortilla warmer until they are served, so that they can stay warm and not dry out.

NO LARD FRESH FLOUR TORTILLA'S

Steps:

• Combine 2 cups flour with the baking powder, and mix.
• Add the olive oil and mix until the flour is coated.
• Slowly add in the hot water, mixing the dough, so that all the flour is covered. Once the dough starts to become solid, you can remove it from the mixing bowl and place on a lightly floured surface.
• Start to kneed the dough, slowly adding flour until it starts to become elastic, and pressing down on the dough, it bounces back.
• Divide the dough into 6 pieces and roll into balls. Slightly press down on each and cover lightly with a clean towel or cloth. Let the dough rest for 20 to 30 minutes*
• Next, on a lightly floured surface begin rolling out each tortilla ball, into a 6 inch disc. They each should be about 1/4 inch thick. Don't worry about getting perfect circle's. anyone enjoying these won't care!
• Heat a skillet (preferably cast iron*) to medium to high heat (usually 5-6). Once heated through, place a tortilla on the skillet and heat until little bubbles start to form (approximately 2 minutes). Flip to cook the other side, another 2 minutes. The tortilla should have small brown spots, and be soft to the touch. Place in a tortilla warmer to keep warm while you make the rest.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Stir in water and oil. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10-12 times, adding a little flour or water if needed to achieve a smooth dough. Let rest for 10 minutes., Divide dough into 8 portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 7-in. circle., In a greased cast-iron or other heavy skillet, cook tortillas over medium heat until lightly browned, 1 minute on each side. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until tiny bubbles start to form around the edges of the pan (the milk should be 180 degrees F), 4 to 5 minutes. Immediately remove from the heat and stir in the lard until melted. Let cool for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl until completely combined. Pour in the warm milk mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
• When cool enough to handle, knead the dough in the bowl until almost completely smooth, about 3 minutes; do not overwork, the dough should be soft and only slightly elastic and not sticky. Wrap in plastic and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour to relax dough.
• Divide the dough into 16 balls about a scant 3 tablespoons each (or 46g.). Arrange the balls on a rimmed baking sheet and cover with a damp kitchen towel until ready to use.
• Working with one dough ball at a time, roll out on a lightly floured surface to a 7-inch round.
• Heat a medium cast-iron skillet or large griddle over medium-high heat.
• Working with one at a time (unless using a large griddle), cook the tortillas, reducing the heat if they are getting dark too quickly, until air bubbles form on the surface and the bottom is brown in spots, about 30 seconds. Poke any large bubbles with a fork to release steam, flip the tortillas and cook until brown in spots on the other side, about 30 seconds. Stack and wrap the tortillas in a clean kitchen towel and keep warm. Repeat rolling and cooking the remaining dough balls.

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Mix in the lard with your fingers until the flour resembles cornmeal. Add the water and mix until the dough comes together; place on a lightly floured surface and knead a few minutes until smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
• Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Use a well-floured rolling pin to roll a dough ball into a thin, round tortilla. Place into the hot skillet, and cook until bubbly and golden; flip and continue cooking until golden on the other side. Place the cooked tortilla in a tortilla warmer; continue rolling and cooking the remaining dough.
