Homemade Flour Tortililas

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

1/4 Cup Duck Fat
1 ½ cups water

Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Rub in Duck Fat with your fingers until mixture resembles cornmeal. Add water and mix until dough comes together.

Transfer dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead for a few minutes until smooth and elastic. Let dough rest covered for about 10 minutes. Roll into a log and divide dough into 24 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.

Preheat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Use a tortilla press to press a dough ball into a thin, round tortilla. I do this by cutting a quart size Ziploc bag down the sides and place the dough ball in the center. Press then turn 180 degrees and press again, you want them really thin.

Place into the hot skillet, and cook until bubbly and golden; flip and continue cooking until golden on the other side. Place the cooked tortilla in a tortilla warmer; continue rolling and cooking the remaining dough.
