Frugal Flour Tortillas I usually make quadruple quantity and freeze the extras!! It takes a couple of hours to make that many, so don't do it at dinner time!! Makes 10 2 ½ Cups flour (all white flour or 1/2 white & 1/2 wholemeal) 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 3 tbsp oil About ¾ cup warm water Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl, add the oil and then gradually add enough warm water to form a soft dough. Knead on a floured board for about 5 minutes (great triceps work-out!!) and then allow the dough to rest for around 5-10 minutes (this makes it much easier to roll out). Divide the dough into 10 pieces and roll each to about 20 cm across (okay, so admittedly, mine end up looking more like one of the American states than a nice round circle! But I promise it doesn’t affect the taste!). Cook them quickly in a very hot, lightly oiled frying pan for 30-60 seconds, until they bubble and start to brown. Turn them over and cook the other side. When they are cooked, wrap them in a damp kitchen towel to keep them soft. To warm the tortillas, wrap them in foil and heat them in the oven, or just pop them in the microwave for 10-20 seconds each.
Jack gives them the taste test...and they pass!
