Flour Tortillas
From 'The Road to Mexico' by Rick Stein
Whilst you can't match the flavour of a corn tortilla, flour tortillas still have a place in Mexican cuisine. There flexibility is perfect for wrapping up foods like burritos and quesadillas.Ingredients:
- 450g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 80ml corn oil
- 250ml lukewarm water
- In a food mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Add the corn oil, then the water. Mix well for 2 minutes, stopping the machine and scraping down the mixture in the bowl when necessary. The mixture should start to come together in a ball. Knead it well for another minute or so.
- Turn the dough out on to a floured board and divide into 16 pieces. Leave them to rest for 15-20 minutes.
- Place a dry heavy-based frying pan over a high heat. Using a rolling pin and a little more flour for dusting, roll out discs of about 15cm in diameter. Cook the tortillas in the hot pan, 1 at a time, for about 1 minute or until brown patches appear; then flip them over a cook on the other side for 30-40 seconds.
- Stack the tortillas in a tortilla basket with a lid, or on a warm plate covered with foil, to prevent them becoming dry and brittle. Serve warm, or use them in burritos or quesadillas etc.
