Flour Tortillas

Ingredients:

3 C. flour

2 tsp. baking powder

2 tsp. salt

3/4 C. shortening

3/4 C. water

Directions:

1. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt.  Cut in shortening until crumbly.  Add up to 3/4 C. water until the ingredients look moist.

2. Knead the dough with your hand or a large fork, cleaning the sides of the bowl.  Cover and let sit for about an hour.

3. Divide dough into 10-12 balls.  Roll each with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.

4.  Place each tortilla on a medium hot griddle.  Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until tortilla does not look doughy.
