Spelt Tortillas

A few days ago, a friend of mine dropped off some tortillas she made along with the recipe. Good thing she included the recipe, because they were worthy of repeating! Delicious, and simple to make. (not to mention CHEAP!!)

Homemade spelt tortillas

1 1/2 cups spelt flour, fresh ground is best.
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 Tbs. oil
3/4 cup hot water

mix all ingredients, cover and let sit in a warm place for 20 min. divide into 8 balls and let sit covered for another 20 minutes. Roll each out into a thin circle and cook on skillet. If they are too thin they will cook up fast and will need to be watched closely so they dont get crispy.

TIPS:
* the dough is a little sticky so when you are rolling it out be sure to flour your counter and rolling pin really well.
* I liked them rolled out a little thicker, they were easier to cook and work with.
* Once you are done cooking them, place them in a container with wet paper towels in between them. They will stay soft and pliable this way.
