Instructions
Make the Dough
Mix together the flour, baking powder, and seasoned salt in your mixer bowl.
With mixer on medium, add oil and water until dough begins to form.
Mix dough with dough hook on low for about a minute.
Roll out the Tortillas
Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface.
Divide dough into 16 equal pieces (less if you want larger tortillas).
Form each dough piece into a ball. Flatten with your hand, then cover with a towel and rest for 15 minutes.
Using a rolling pin, roll out each piece until it's about 6-7" in diameter. Be sure to keep both your work surface and rolling pin lightly floured to avoid sticking.
Cook the Tortillas
Heat a skillet (I used a cast iron) over medium heat.
Put one tortilla in the pan and cook on one side for about 1 minute, or until it begins to turn pale brown and bubbly.
Flip the tortilla and cook for an additional 20-30 seconds.
Remove from pan. Use immediately or store covered or in a sealed bag for future use.
