Homemade Flour Tortilla's

Ingredients:

2 cups of flour (I always use 1/2 white and 1/2 wheat)

1/2 cup of flour set aside for rolling out tortillas

1/4 tspn of baking powder

1/2 tspn salt

just under 1/3 cup (olive) oil (that's what works for me)

warm water
Mix together dry ingredients well. Add oil and dribble in warm water little by little while stirring until dough forms into a ball. Knead dough. (Hint: if dough is sticky, add a drop or two of oil) Take a large egg sized amount of dough and roll out into a tortilla using the 1/2 cup of flour that was set aside to flour rolling surface.Heat on an ungreased griddle (I love using my griddle for this since I can heat 2 at a time on it) or pan for a minute or so on each side. Tortillas will bubble lightly. (You know you've heated it too long if the tortilla gets dried out and cracks.) Use while still warm or let cool off before storing in the refrigerator/freezer. Cooled tortillas are more pliable after heating in the microwave for 10 seconds.
Makes 4 10" round tortillas. Doubling recipe hasn't seemed to work as well for me. Dough gets too dry and hard to roll out. Good luck, and enjoy.
