Mexican for lunch

Found a recipe for flour tortillas, the boys favorite, from Homesicktexan.blogspot.com

Mix 2 cups all purpose flour (can substitute 1 cup whole wheat), 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, and 2 tsp canola oil.  Slowly add 3/4 cup warm milk (we used skim and they were still good).  Mix, then knead 2 minutes.  Cover and let sit for 20 minutes.  Then divide dough into 8 sections and roll into balls.  Cover and let rest 10 minutes.  Flatten dough ball into 4 inch disc, then roll out to about 8 inches in diameter.  Heat an iron skillet.  Cook about 30-60 seconds on each side, it will start to puff when it's done.

We haven't finished France yet.  We just needed to satisfy a burrito fix.  Trotters are simmering for tonight's dinner, which won't be ready until 10.  Oops, didn't read the whole recipe!
