3. 3

   Add hot water very slowly to mixture and use a fork or wooden spoon to mix.
4. 4

   Continue mixing and very slowly adding water until the dough is soft and pliable, but not sticky.
5. 5

   Lightly knead the dough on a clean surface with a small amount of additional flour if needed until the dough is a smooth and consistent texture.
6. 6

   Wrap the dough in plastic, I use oven roasting bags because they are durable and can be reused and they can also store cooked tortillas
7. 7

   Let the dough rest for ⏱️ 30 minutes to ⏱️ 2 hours .
8. 8

   Unwrap and divide the dough into 8 pieces, roughly 100g each
9. 9

   Round each dough piece.
10. 10

    Preheat a skillet or large flat cooking surface like a baking steel. a cast iron pan 12- inches or bigger works great.
11. 11

    Once the cooktop is very hot, one by one, roll out the dough rounds with as little flour as possible, be careful not to roll out too thin, about 9 to 11 inches diameter.
12. 12

    Transfer each rolled out tortilla dough onto the hot cooktop and cook for only a few seconds each side — once you see the edges begin to color and bubbles have only just begun forming, turn to the other side using a spatula or flat wooden spoon, cook ⏱️ 10-20 seconds per side.

    After cooking place between two towels, and stack each tortilla together as they are finished.
