To make: 2 cups of tortilla mix 1/2-3/4 cups of water

 on each side or until little brown spots begin to appear. The consistency you are looking for in the dough is almost like play dough. If it is too crumbly they will not roll out well. That is why the water amount is so varied.

• 1 Tablespoon Onion Powder

Preparation

In a medium bowl, whisk all ingredients to combine. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.

Notes:
1. When you purchase buttermilk powder at the store, it is found on the shelf, often in the baking section or near the powdered milk.
2. Storage: the brand of buttermilk powder recommends refrigerating the powder once opened. In my experience, the powder stores for at least 2 months in the refrigerator, as long as you keep it in powder form. If you mix the powder with sour cream or other liquid products, use within 5 days.
