Tortillas

In response to Chandra's suggestion that we add more recipes, I'm going to give the tortilla recipe. Apparently this recipe is very time-sensitive (pay attention to that part of the directions) because they totally flopped at Nikki's shower and Michelle had to run to the store to buy tortillas.

Ingredients:

2 cups All-purpose flour

1 1/2 tsp. Baking powder

1 tsp. Salt

2 tsp. Vegetable oil

3/4 cup Warm milk

Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and oil. Slowly add warm milk. Stir until it forms a loose, sticky ball. Knead for 2 minutes on a floured surface until it is firm and soft. Cover with a damp cloth in a bowl for 20 minutes. Roll 8 balls. Don't let them touch. Cover for 10 minutes. Pat into 4" circles on a floured surface and roll out with a rolling pin.

Get a dry iron skillet really hot and do them one at a time for about 30 seconds (or until it puffs.)

For us the trickiest part was figuring out how flat to roll them so they weren't too thin or too thick. They do pretty well for a couple days in a ziplock bag in the fridge if you have leftovers.

I am back to Fort Worth so Thomas will be returning to normal civilization. And big congratulations to him for finishing his Greek III final today, completing all the language requirements for his degree!!!
