Homemade Tortillas

This recipe is from VegNews Magazine Recipe Club. I am going to try them tonight and let you know how they turned out.

Serves 4

What You Need:

2 cups flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder

What You Do:

1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and let stand for 20 minutes.

2. Form dough into a ball, then place onto lightly floured countertop. Divide into 1-inch balls. Flatten each ball into a round, and, with a rolling pin, roll out lightly on one side.

3. Over high heat, place cast-iron skillet. Cook tortillas in ungreased skillet for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip once and cook other side until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Serve warm.
