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.
