Tonight I decided to make some homemade flour tortillas. I was surprised at how easy they were to make. They did not take very long to make and they taste really good. I think that I definitely will be making these more often rather than purchasing them at the store. Here it is:
Fresh Flour Tortilla Recipe
- 2 cups of white flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 2 tsp. vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup warm water
Combined all dry ingredients and set aside. Mix the oil and water completely together.
Now add the water and oil to the dry ingredients slowly (1-2 tablespoons at a time). Keep mixing until all of the water/oil mixture is gone. The dough may still be sticky.
Knead the dough until it is smooth – Place the dough aside for 20 – 25 minutes covering it with a dish towel. Then you will separate the dough, and roll them into golf size pieces. Let them stand for 10 minutes.
Preheat the frying pan to medium-high. There is no need for oil or cooking spray. While the pan is heating up–take a dough piece and with the rolling pin flatten the dough out. Continue this until all the dough has been flattened. Start to cook the flat pieces of dough in the frying pan. Watch the tortilla and after 45 seconds flip it to the other side. After another 30-45 seconds on the second side–place the freshly cooked tortilla onto a plate and repeat.
These are delicious! They are alot better than the store bought stuff. Try it out!
