   3      c             white flour
   1      t             Salt
   1      c             Warm water
                        Vegetable oil

Combine the flour and salt; stir in enough warm water so that the dough pulls a
way from the sides of the bowl & is no longer sticky. Stir till smooth. Knead f
or 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 im
mediately in towels.
