I found a recipe on Facebook a few weeks ago for homemade tortillas.  I tried them last week and they were a success.  In my ever so subtle quest to become healthier, I attempted to make them with whole wheat flour.  The recipe is as follows: 3 cups flour 1 tsp salt 1 tsp baking powder 1/3 cup oil 1 cup warm water Add dry ingredients and give a quick stir, then add the liquids.  As soon as it forms a ball or looks mixed, form 1.5-2" balls and roll them out with a rolling pin (or get a tortilla press from one of your favorite kitchen retailers).  Set your frying pan or cast iron griddle (ungreased!) on med (5-6) and cook on the first side until it begins to bubble.

We blessed Mason on June 5, 2011. We had lots of family & friends come support us. Brad did such a amazing job. I'm so glad to have a worthy priesthood in my home that we can call upon when we need. Blessing Day - picture slideshow
