Gluten Free Flour Tortillas



These are adapted from Carla's gluten free tortilla recipe
Note:  these tortillas are thicker than standard tortillas, more like flatbread thickness.

1/4 cup hot water
1/4 cup almond milk
3 TBSP rice bran oil (or oil of choice)
1 large egg, beaten
3/4 cup sorghum flour
1/4 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup arrowroot starch
1 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp baking powder

In a medium sized bowl, combine; water, almond milk, oil and egg.  Mix until combined.  Add remaining ingredients and mix with a spatula
until combined.  Let rest about 15 minutes.  Heat a skillet over medium high heat.  On a surface dusted with sorghum flour, knead about 1/3 cup of dough a few times before shaping into a round disc (if you press the dough out too thin on your floured surface, it will fall apart before you can transfer to a pan).  Sprinkle the skillet with sorghum flour to prevent sticking (you will probably need to change the flour 2 or 3 times or it will burn between tortillas).  Put the dough disc in the pan and quickly press out into a thin round disc.  Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until brown on the underside and the topside starts to appear cooked.  Reduce heat to medium if necessary.  Eat immediately or store wrapped in paper towels in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.
