ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

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 let it rest for 20 minutes.

- Place a dough ball on a floured surface, pat it out into a four-inch circle, and then roll flat, about 6-8 inches in diameter.
- In a dry iron skillet heated on high, cook the tortilla about thirty seconds on each side. It should start to puff a bit when it’s done.
