This recipe is printed from Scissors, Paper, Bacon.

Prep Time 45 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings 8 tortillas

Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Drizzle with the olive oil and then add the milk. Stir until the dough comes together.
  • Knead the dough for about 2 minutes and then form it into a ball. Place the dough into a clean bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Leave the dough to rest for 20 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and then roll each portion into a ball. Place the dough balls back into the bowl, cover again and leave to rest for another 15 minutes.
  • Roll out each ball into a round pancake like shape, going as thin as possible without causing the dough to tear.
  • Heat a nonstick frypan over medium-low heat. Cook the tortillas one at a time. Place a tortilla in the frypan, wait for approximately 30 seconds until the tortilla starts to puff up. Flip the tortilla over and cook the second side for another 30 seconds. Transfer the cooked tortilla to a plate and cover with foil while you cook the remaining tortillas.
