Soft flour tortillas

3 cups plain or wheat flour (I used atta)
1tsp baking powder
2tsp salt
1/4 cup sunflower oil
1cup warm water (warm not boiling)


  1. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the oil it it forms a crumbly mixture. 
  2. Pour in the warm water and mix till it forms a ball. Tip the dough on to a lightly dusted work surface and knead for 2 to 3 minutes to dough this smooth.
  3. Cover dough with cling film and set aside for 30 mins to a maximum of 2 hours.
  4. When ready, divide the dough into equal portions (makes about 20), roll into balls and roll out into thin flat circles. 
  5. Cook the tortillas on a hot heavy based frying pan till it bubbles and browns on both sides.cook all the tortillas stacking them onto a clean tea towel or paper towel.
