      Title: Flour Tortillas
 Categories: Five, Latinos, Breads
      Yield: 8 servings
 
      2 c  All-purpose flour
  1 1/2 ts Baking powder
      1 ts Salt
      2 ts Vegetable oil
    3/4 c  Lukewarm milk
 
  These tortillas have real body and taste. They are perfect
  for gorditas, fajitas and eating out of hand.
  
  Stir together the flour and baking powder in a large mixing
  bowl. Add the salt and vegetable oil to the lukewarm milk
  and whisk briefly to incorporate. Gradually add the milk to
  the flour, and work the mixture into a dough. It will be
  sticky.
  
  Turn the dough out onto a surface dusted with flour and
  knead vigorously for about 2 minutes (fold and press, fold
  and press). The kneading will take care of the stickiness.
  Return the dough to the bowl, cover it with a damp cloth,
  and let it rest for 15 minutes. (This dough will not rise,
  but it needs a rest.)
  
  Divide your dough into 8 balls of equal size, cover them,
  and let them rest again for about 20 minutes. Avoid letting
  them touch, if you don't want them to stick together.
  
  Dust your work surface with flour. Working one at a time,
  remove each piece of dough and pat it into a 5-inch circle.
  With a rolling pin, roll out the tortilla, working from the
  center out, until you have a 7- or 8-inch tortilla a little
  less than 1/4-inch thick. Transfer the tortilla to a hot,
  dry skillet or griddle. It will begin to blister. Let it
  cook for 30 seconds, turn it, and let the other side cook
  for 30 seconds. Remove the tortilla, place it in a
  napkin-lined basket and cover with aluminum foil. Repeat for
  the remaining tortillas.
  
  Although flour tortillas, like corn tortillas, are best if
  eaten right after they are made, these tortillas will freeze
  well. Wrap them tightly in plastic, and they will keep,
  frozen, for several weeks. To serve tortillas that have been
  frozen, let them thaw and come to room temperature, then
  wrap them in aluminum foil and heat them in a warm oven.
  Microwaving tends to toughen them.
  
  Note: Full particulars, including techniques and tips, are
  given in the article How to Make Flour Tortillas (with Mixed
  Results).
