Flour Tortillas

Flour Tortillas

4 cup flour
2 T Baking Powder
2 t salt (optional)
3 T Canola Oil
1 1/2 cup water or milk

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt thoroughly.  Add oil.  Mix in liquid slowly.  Once you have poured in all of the liquid, you will have to finish smixing with your hands.
Separate dough into patties.  They will be about the size of a  ping-pong  ball flattened and smoothed around the edges for easy rolling.    Use flour as needed to prevent sticking, however  you may not need any.  Cook on medium to medium-high in flat skillet.  NO OIL NECESSARY.  Watch for "bubbling" before flipping to other side.  We like to eath them warm with butter and honey.  Enjoy
