Flour Tortillas

Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 tablespoons oil
• 

  Turn when the tortilla starts to go brown like this

  Around ¾ cup warm water

Method

• Combine the dry ingredients. Add oil and warm water then mix.
• Knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes, then allow the dough to rest at room temperature wrapped in gladwrap for at least 10 minutes.
• Give the dough a quick light knead and divide into 10-12 balls. Roll each out to approximately 25cm across.
• Cook in a hot pan (you can lightly oil the pan but usually don’t need to if its non stick). Cook for 30-60 seconds until they start to turn brown. Turn and cook on the other side. The tortillas may bubble up a wee bit, that is perfectly fine.
• 

  They don’t have to be perfectly round.

  Once they are cooked place in a damp tea towel to keep them soft. If not using straight away they can be reheated in the oven but wrap them in foil first.

Wraps make a great light meal on a hot day

Note: You may find it takes some practice to get the tortillas perfectly round but the reality is they don’t have to be perfect. They will still taste yummy 🙂
