Hi Group:
Here is the gluten free flour tortilla recipe that I want to eventually use
with an electric tortilla press.  Thanks to those list members that looked
around for one for me in their areas.  Currently I'm waiting to get one
shipped!

This recipe is from the Denver Metro/CSA Chapter:

Basic Tortilla Mix

1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup tapioca flour
1/4 cup potato starch flour
1/4 white rice flour
1/4 cup brown rice flour
1 tsp salt
1-1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1 generous tsp baking powder
1-1/2 TBSP vegetable oil
1/2 cup water or more as needed

Measure all dry ingredients in a sealed container and shake to mix. Add oil
and water to mix. Let the dough rest 10 minutes for easier handling.
Divide dough and roll into 10 to 12 balls.  Flatten a ball slightly and
place in the press and follow the press instructions. This recipe says to
cook 30 seconds on each side, but you need to check and see if your press
cooks on both sides at once.

HINTS:
It is suggested that you cook all the tortillas first and STACK them (and
perhaps cover with a moist towel) so that they steam up a little and
soften, otherwise they come out of the press sort of dry. Use the moistened
flour immediately (can make the dry ingredients ahead of time). The recipe
doubles well.  If the tortillas have been refrigerated you should reheat
them before eating.  Should roll tortillas (if desired) while they are warm
and pliable.  Can use two as bread for sandwiches. Also can use as "pizzas"
or dessert crepes with fruit filling, etc.

Let me know if it works for you!
