Texas Flour Tortillas

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup warm milk 

Directions 

Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and oil. Slowly add the warm milk. Stir until a loose, sticky ball is formed. Knead for two minutes on a floured surface. Dough should be firm and soft. Place dough in a bowl and cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap for 20 minutes. After the dough has rested, break off eight sections, roll them into balls in your hands, place on a plate (make sure they aren't touching) and then cover balls with damp cloth or plastic wrap for 10 minutes. After dough has rested, one at a time place a dough ball on a floured surface, pay it out into a four-inch circle, and then roll with a rolling pin from the center until its thin and about 8 in in diameter. Don't over work the dough of it'll be stiff. Keep rolled-out tortillas covering until ready to cook. In a dry iron skillet heated on high, cook the tortilla about 30 seconds on each side. IT should start to puff a bit when its done. Keep cooked tortillas covered wrapped in a napkin until ready to eat. Makes 8 tortillas.
