Ingredients:
4 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
4 tbsp shortening
1 1/2 cup warm water
Instructions:
Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Cut in shortening. Make a
well in the center and add water, a small amount at a time, to form a
dough. Knead dough in bowl until smooth and elastic. Cover and wet
aside for ten minutes. Form dough into egg-sized balls and flatter
between palms. With rolling pin, roll each ball into a 6 inch circle,
about 1/8 inch thick. Cook on preheated ungreased skillet over medium
high heat, apprx. two min. per side, until tortilla looks slightly
speckled. Cover with a clean towel to keep warm and soft until
served. The tortillas may be cooled and stored in plastic bags in the
freezer for later use.
