What goes in

• 2 cupsall-purpose flour
• 4.9 mlbaking powder
• 2½ mlsalt
• 29.6 mlvegetable oil
• ½ cupwarm water

How to cook it

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Stir in the vegetable oil until the mixture is thoroughly incorporated and has a crumbly texture.
3. Gradually pour in the warm water, adding an extra splash of tap water if needed, and stir until the dough gathers into a loose ball.
4. Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead 6 to 8 times until smooth and pliable, about 1 to 2 minutes.
5. Divide the dough evenly into 10 portions, then roll each portion out flat into an 8-inch circle.
6. Heat a dry 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes until very hot.
7. Lay one rolled tortilla flat in the dry skillet and cook for about 1 minute, until bubbles form across the surface and light brown spots appear on the bottom.
8. Flip the tortilla and cook the other side for 30 to 45 seconds, until light brown spots appear, then transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining dough circles.
