Flour tortillas

I had decided to have fajitas for dinner but then realised we didn't have the tortillas I thought we did, so I made some. On the whole bought are much easier and these ones were slightly too thick and some had been fried too much so they weren't as floppy as they should be. But the good ones were good.

380g flour
1tsp baking powder
1tsp salt
80ml veg oil
240ml warm water

Knead everything together for about 5 mins (or more by hand). Easiest in a kitchen aid or similar as the dough is quite wet. 
Divide in to 8 pieces and roll each out to about the size of a dinner plate. Heat a large sauce pan on a medium heat and fry each one for a few minutes aside until there are brown (but not black!) spots.
Wrap in foil and reheat when ready. Can be frozen.
I read somewhere the idea of using them as a pizza base. Fry them as above and then spread with tomato, cheese and topping and cook in the oven for 5 mins. Sounds interesting, will give it a go sometime.
