Ingredients
- 2 cups plain flour
- 2 Tbsp starch powder (corn starch or potato starch)
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp plain flour Anti stick purpose
Instructions
- Sieve the flour, salt and starch powder.Add the water and olive oil. Kneed the dough. (The recipe I found recommend to leave it like that for about 1 hour in the fridge, but I didn’t have much time to spare, so I just kept going to next step without having any break.) Divide the dough into 4 pieces.
- Spread the plain flour (2 Tbsp) on the rolling board. One dough at a time, roll the dough lightly on the board into a ball shape.
- Roll one piece of dough with a rolling pin to flatten and make a thin round shape. (Repeat this for the rest of the dough.)
- Preheat a skillet / pan for 10 seconds. (No cooking oil is used)
- Place one tortilla sheet and cook it for 20 – 30 seconds. Turn it over and cook the other side for 20-30 seconds. Remove from the heat.
- Serve.
