Title: Flour Tortillas 1
Categories: Bread
Yield: 6 Servings

4	c	All-purpose flour
2	tb	Vegetable shortening (or lard)
2	ts	Baking powder
2	ts	Salt
2	c	Tap-hot water

Combine all ingredients except water. Add water slowly, until dough is soft, but does not stick to hands. Knead dough until satiny. Softer dough is easier to roll. Make 2 inch balls of dough, and flatten, roll on floured surface with a light rolling pin. Cook on cast iron griddle, that has been preheated. Griddle should be hot enough to burn dough in less than 20 seconds. Adjustments are neces- sary, especially on electric stoves. Heat is approximately 300 F. Yield: 1 dozen.
