Mixing the Dough

In a large bowl combine the boiling water, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to dissolve the salt. Add the flour and mix until there is no dry flour left. Cover and rest for 30 minutes to cool off. Then weight the dough and divide it into 6 equal pieces. Shape into balls.

Rest in the fridge to make easier to roll out.

Making the Tortillas

Roll them out into 6 large, thin disks and cook in a preheated pan on high heat for no longer than 2 minutes flipping the tortilla every 30 seconds. If you are using an iron pan, then it may take even less time. Do NOT cook it until it has colored well on both sides as this will take too long. The longer they cook the drier they get. Some darker spots where it bubbles up is all you need
