Flour Tortillas

(for small family, you may do half the recipe)
By: Emmy Gongora

4 Cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder (royal)
1 ½ tsp. salt
Mix well and add the following:
7 tsp. Crisco shortening
Knead very well (about 5 minutes) until you can’t see any Crisco (little balls) on the dough.

Add 1 ¾ cups hot water until the dough is very sticky and just keep kneading until it’s not sticky anymore, add a little more flour if needed.

Roll into balls, cover them up with a dishcloth for 20 minutes.

Extend (roll with rolling pin) and cook on the griddle.
