So at our old school we hosted a fabulous teacher luncheon. One year I was in charge I decided we should prepare the famed Cafe Rio dinner, since all the teachers had never heard of it. THEY LOVED IT! It was such a fun school to be at.
• 3 c. flour
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 3/4 c. butter
• 3/4 c. very hot water
Mix the flour, salt, & baking powder together. Cut in the butter with your fingers, fork or your mixer works great, until it is crumbly. Add the water and mix until the dough comes together. Place on a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in bowl, cover with a slightly damp dishtowel and let sit for an hour or more. Pull apart a small piece of dough and roll it into a ball. Then use a rolling pin to smooth it out.
Preheat a large skillet or pan to medium-high heat. Place into the hot skillet, and cook until bubbly, golden, and no appearance of doughy-ness, about 1 minute (DON’T OVERCOOK.. remember these are supposed to be soft flour tortillas, you don’t want them to be crispy)
