Ingredients
- Milk1 1/2 cups
- All-purpose flour4 cups
- Baking powder3 tsp
- Salt2 tsp
- Vegetable oil1 tbs
Steps
In a bowl mix together flour, salt, baking powder and vegetable oil. Slowly stir in the milk until a loose sticky ball is formed and then knead on a floured surface for 2 minutes. If it is a little dry add a touch more milk.
Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Leave it to rest for 20 minutes.
After resting using a sharp knife cut dough into 16 portions and roll into balls. Place on a tray so they're not touching and re-cover with plastic wrap. Leave them to rest for a further 10 minutes.
After the second rest, roll the dough out a ball at a time to make a 20 cm round circle. Keep rolled tortillas covered so they don't dry out.
Cook in a hot dry skillet for 30 seconds per side. Keep warm in a tea towel until ready to eat.
