--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      c             White flour
   1      ts            Salt
   1      c             Water -- warm
                        Vegetable oil

Combine the flour and salt; stir in enough warm water so that the
dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl & is no longer sticky.
Stir until smooth. Knead for 5 minutes. Shape dough into rectangle &
cut in half lengthwise.  Divide into 12 portions and shape into
smooth balls. Cover with damp balls and let rest 5 to 10 minutes.
Press each ball flat & roll into a 6" or 7" circle. Cover with damp
towels. Lightly oil a griddle or skillet. Gently stretch each round
as thin as possible. Cook until brown & bubbly spots appear on the
bottom, about 90 seconds. Turn over & brown the other side. Remove
from griddle and wrap immediately in towels.
