Ingredients for
Flour Tortillas
2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3/4 cup lukewarm milk (2% is sufficient)
Method for Flour
Tortillas
Stir together the flour
and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Add
the salt and vegetable oil to the lukewarm milk
and whisk briefly to incorporate. Gradually add
the milk to the flour, and work the mixture into
a dough. It will be sticky.
Turn the dough out onto
a surface dusted with flour and knead vigorously
for about 2 minutes (fold and press, fold and
press). The kneading will take care of the stickiness.
Return the dough to the bowl, cover it with a
damp cloth, and let it rest for 15 minutes. (This
dough will not rise, but it needs a rest.)
Divide your dough into
8 balls of equal size, cover them, and let them
rest again for about 20 minutes. Avoid letting
them touch, if you don't want them to stick together.
Dust your work surface
with flour. Working one at a time, remove each
piece of dough and pat it into a 5-inch circle.
With a rolling pin, roll out the tortilla, working
from the center out, until you have a 7- or 8-inch
tortilla a little less than 1/4 inch thick. Transfer
the tortilla to a hot, dry skillet or griddle.
It will begin to blister. Let it cook for 30 seconds,
turn it, and let the other side cook for 30 seconds.
Remove the tortilla, place it in a napkin-lined
basket and cover with aluminum foil. Repeat for
the remaining tortillas.
Although flour tortillas,
like corn tortillas, are best if eaten right after
they are made, these tortillas will freeze well.
Wrap them tightly in plastic, and they will keep,
frozen, for several weeks. To serve tortillas
that have been frozen, let them thaw and come
to room temperature, then wrap them in aluminum
foil and heat them in a warm oven. Microwaving
tends to toughen them.
My personal favourite is
to add a little spice by adding freshly ground
black pepper or fresh chooped oregano. Serve with
your favourite Mexican dish and table wine and
enjoy your freshly made Flour Tortillas.
