Tortillas

Since I know how easy to make tortillas, I really love to make it and eat. All my family love it too and its good for diet I guess.

Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 Tablespoons oil (I use olive oil)
• 1/2 cup hot water (I use hot tap water - about 125-130° F)

Instructions:

1. Combine flour, salt, & baking powder in a bowl.
2. Stir in the oil with a spoon until well distributed.
3. Stir in hot water.
4. Transfer to a flat surface and knead for about 30 seconds until it forms a smooth ball.
5. Start preheating an ungreased cast iron pan to medium-high.
6. Cut dough into 8 equal pieces.
7. Form each piece into a smooth ball.
8. Roll each ball super thin. Try to use very little or no flour as this helps the dough stick to the counter a bit so it's easier to roll thin.
9. Place each one in the hot pan and cook about a minute, turning once with tongs or a spatula. You can press down any large bubbles.
10. Place immediately under a clean kitchen towel.
11. Once they cool, keep refrigerated in airtight Ziploc bag.

Note: To make whole wheat tortillas, use half whole wheat pastry flour and half all-purpose flour.
