Flour Tortillas

                                                                           

Serving size 

Approx. 6 - 8 Tortillas

Ingredient

- 2 C Flour

- 1 1/2 t Baking powder

- 1 t Salt 

- 2 t Vegetable Oil

- 3/4 C Warm Milk (Heat up in microwave until warm. About 1 - 2 minutes)

- Extra Flour for rolling

If dough is to sticky add 1 T flour at a time. (Do not over flour else they will just taste like flour). 

Directions  

1. Mix all ingredients together and kneed.

2. Damp a kitchen towel with warm water and cover bowl letting it rise for 10 - 20 minute. 

3. Make individual balls about 1.5 inch for small tortillas or 2.5 inch for large tortillas. 

4. Use a rolling pin and roll each tortilla flat on a floured surface (it will rise when cooking).

5. Cook on skillet 

6. Serve with your favorite meat and toppings.

Tips:

• If it is too hard to roll out or dough keeps shrinking put the skillet to warm and place slightly rolled dough on it just until dough is warm (Do not leave on skillet too long or have skillet to high. You do not want tortillas to cook at this point.) After warming on skillet begin again to roll tortillas out. 
• If you start to see bubbles forming in tortilla as they are cooking on the skillet you did a great job with the dough. If not, its ok, just practice making tortillas more often. 

Tortilla making is one of those things you have to perfect. It takes time. My husband and I started doing "tortilla night" every Sunday with our friends. It became a tradition and that is how we perfected our tortillas. We are great tortilla making partners :)

Practice makes perfect!

Have fun and Enjoy!
