Flour Tortillas

Sent by: Rachel Kull

Ingredients

4 cups (500 gm) flour
2 teaspoons (10 cc) baking powder
2 teaspoons (10 cc) salt
4 Tablespoons (60cc) oil
1 cup (250cc) hottest tap water

Method

Mix all ingredients together, kneading until dough is elastic and all flour is absorbed. Form into walnut-sized balls and cover with towel. Let rest for about 10 minutes.

Roll each ball into a circle and cook on a hot UNgreased griddle or frying pan, flipping once during cooking.

These may be made with some whole wheat flour too–substitute 1 cup white for whole wheat flour.
