INGREDIENTS

2 cups all-purpose flour (plus about 1/2 -3/4 cup more for kneading)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons oil
3/4 cup milk, room temperature
Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine dry ingredients well. Add oil and milk and mix to form a soft dough. Turn dough lump out onto a floured board and knead for two minutes.

Divide the dough into 8-12 equally sized balls.

On a lightly floured surface, pat each ball out flat to start it, then with your floured rolling pin, roll into a circle (or as close as you can get it) about 8 inches in diameter.

Turn your cast iron skillet or griddle on high heat. Let it heat up while you continue to roll out tortillas. When it's hot, throw a tortilla on there. After about a minute it will start to grow bubble-warts. When those bubbles have almost covered the whole surface of the tortilla, flip it over for another thirty seconds or so. Put it on a plate and do that with the rest of your dough discs.

And THAT is how you do it.

I think you'll have fun with this.

I make homemade tortillas all the time but I think I roll them out to thin. What's the optimum thickness? And how much salt and milk did you use? :D

[hilahcooking]

@joycloud I roll them out about 1/8". All the ingredients are in the description box!

Het hilah I have a question I'm purty new at cooking n I just learned how to make tortillas but with d flour that u just add hot water n I was wondering Is that the same as the all purpose flour? if not wts d difference n can u use it all d same? Thanx

[hilahcooking]

@xXcoNtReRasXx3 Sounds like you are using some kind of tortilla mix, like Bisquick for tortillas. The mix already has baking soda, salt, and oil in it. Read the ingredients to check, but they're not interchangeable.

Hi Hilah can i put these dough balls into freezer to store?

[hilahcooking]

@iw974315 Good question. I *think* that would work. Might roll the balls, then freeze them spread out on a plate, then store in a container once they are frozen to prevent sticking together. Let me know if you try it if it works!

@allencrider I think you mean gringa.

If properly overcooked, can a tortilla be used for self defense?
