This is the first time I have made tortillas myself and they actually turned out fabulous. In the past they have always turned out hard as Frisbees, but not these! They are soft and a million times better than the store bought kind.
Total Time: About 1 hour start to finish.
Yield: About 11 large tortillas.
Source: food.com
Ingredients:
- 3 1/8 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 1/4 cup warm milk (I used 2%)
- 2 tsp oil, plus more for frying
Steps:
- Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Add milk and oil.
- Stir together until mostly combined.
- Turn onto a floured surface.
- Knead for a couple minutes until well combined.
- Divide your dough into about 11 balls, about the size of a small plum.
- Roll each into a disk. I found it helpful to pick my tortilla up and rotate it after every go round with the rolling pin. This prevented it from sticking to my counters too much.
- Add a splash of oil to your pan, heated to a medium temperature. Add your tortilla and cook for a couple of minutes until it starts to bubble.
- Flip your tortilla and cook another 1-2 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
- Repeat with each tortilla.
- Store any leftovers you may have in an airtight container in the fridge.

Those look so good. I've tried making tortillas before, but they didn't turn out. I will try this recipe. Thanks!
