So easy. So yummy. Just do it.
1 C flour (original is just white, but I did half whole wheat and half unbleached)
dash of salt
2 T melted butter or warm olive oil
1/2 C water
Mix the flour and salt, then stir in the butter. When fairly mixed but still lumpy, add the water. Knead well for about 3 minutes. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let rest for 30 minutes. (can let it rest much longer if you need to).
Knead for just a moment, then divide into 6-8 balls (or less if you want them bigger). Roll out each ball into a think circle.
Preheat the dry frying pan (no oil or spray). Place a plate inside a plastic bag (or just have paper towels or kitchen cloths ready to put tortillas in when done in pan) -- this is to keep them moist.
Cook a tortilla on the hot pan until brown spots develop on the bottom (30-45 secs). Flip tortilla and do the same on the other side. Then put the finished tortilla on the plate and close up the bag.
Repeat with the rest of the dough, placing each cooked tortilla on top of the last in the plastic bag.
NOTE: It is best to let the finished tortillas rest for about 10 minutes. If you can't wait, use the tortillas in the same order that they were cooked, in order to allow the others to steam as much as possible.

Ooh -- one of my favorite things to make! I finally decided my favorite oil to use in tortillas is coconut. Now my mouth is watering, lol.
I really enjoy your blog. :) Do you have a Twitter account? If you do, it would be cool to know who to credit when I tweet your posts from time to time.
Blessings!
