Directions
- Mix the flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl. Rub in the fat, stir in the water and knead lightly to a soft dough. Cover with plastic wrap and leave to rest for 15 minutes. Divide into 12 pieces and shape into balls.
- Take a lightly greased piece of parchment paper and place in the tortilla press. Take a dough ball, then place between the layers. Fold the press close and squeeze down to form 15-18cm discs.
- Heat a heavy frying pan, add one tortilla and cook for 1-2 minutes, turning over as soon as the surface starts to bubble. It should stay flexible. Remove from the pan and wrap in a damp cloth. Keep warm whilst cooking the remaining tortillas before serving.
