Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups Plain Flour

  • 1 tsp Baking Powder

  • 1 tsp Salt

  • .75 cup Water-warm

  • 9 tsp Oil

Directions

  • Combine the dry ingredients then add the oil and then gradually add enough of the warm water to form a soft dough.
  • Knead on a floured board for about 5 mins then allow the dough to rest  for at least 10 minutes, this makes it much easier to roll out.
  • Divide the dough into 10-12 pieces and roll each to about 20 cm across.
  • Cook them quickly in a very hot, lightly oiled frying pan for 30-60 seconds until they bubble and start to brown.
  • Turn and cook other side.
  • Wrap them in a damp tea towel to keep them soft until ready to use.

Notes

  • Note: Use 1 teaspoon of salt in this recipe, it really is needed. Normally I would omit salt in recipes but the salt in this recipe is needed to give the tortillas flavour.
  • These can be frozen, separate with freezer plastic between each tortilla to make them easy to separate.
  • To warm the tortillas wrap them in foil and heat them in the oven.
