Tortilla Recipe

It turns out that making tortillas is actually really easy.  They taste better, and they are less expensive.  Plus, it's one less plastic bag brought into the house.  I found this recipe here and only changed it a smidge.

Ingredients
4 cups flour (whole wheat and/or white)
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp butter
1 to 1 1/2 cups water

Instructions
1) Thoroughly mix together the flour, salt and baking powder.
2) With your fingers, work in the butter until there are no more lumps.  (Until it resemble cornmeal.)
3) Add enough water to make your dough come together but not become too wet and sticky.  Then pour the dough onto a floured surface and knead for a few minutes until smooth and elastic.
4) For medium to large sized tortillas, divide the dough into 10-12 balls.  Use your rolling pin to roll each ball into a circle as flat as you can.  If you have a pastry cloth, it would be good to use here.  I don't, so I rolled my dough on top of a cut-open ziploc bag that had developed holes and become useless for holding food.  If you do this, you don't have to struggle with peeling the dough off the counter.
5) Cook each tortilla in a skillet on medium heat.  Cook each side until it is lightly browned.  I found that I could roll a tortilla out while another tortilla cooked, so the process went pretty quickly and efficiently.

Yum!
