     Homemade Flour Tortillas

Category   Desserts - Breads
Sub Category   None
Preptime   20 minutes

Ingredients
2 C all purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp vegetable oil (or lard)
3/4 C lukewarm milk (or soy milk)
 

Instructions
In a bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add vegetable oil to the lukewarm milk and whisk briefly to incorporate. Gradually add the milk to the flour mixture, and using clean hands, work into a sticky dough. Turn dough out onto a surface dusted with flour and knead vigorously for about 2 minutes or until the dough is no longer sticky. Return dough to bowl, cover with a damp cloth and allow to rest for 10-20 minutes so that it will be easier to roll out.
Divide dough into 8 balls of equal size, cover them, and let them rest again for about 20 minutes. Avoid letting them touch, if you don't want them to stick together.
Dust a clean pastry board or working surface with flour. One at a time, remove each piece of dough. Press it out into a 5-inch circle. Using a flour dusted rolling pin, roll out the tortilla from the center out until the tortilla measures a little less than 1/4 inch thick and is a 7 or 8 inch circle. Transfer the tortilla to a dry preheated skillet or griddle. when the tortilla begins to blister, allow it to cook for 30 seconds, flip it, and cook the other side the same way. Remove tortilla, place it in on a clean paper towel and cover loosely with foil. Repeat for remaining tortillas.
Tortillas freeze well. Wrap tightly in plastic, removing any air pockets. Keeps frozen for several weeks. To serve tortillas which have been frozen, thaw at room temperature, wrap in foil and heat in a warm oven.
