Homemade Flour Tortillas

These are the tortillas I use all the time. I never by store bought. I love these. They are tastier and a bit thicker than the average tortilla. Very filling.

• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1⁄4 cup shortening

Directions

1. Combine flour, salt and baking powder in a large bowl. Cut in the shortening to resemble crumbs. Add the water slowly until you form a dough. Roll dough in 1 1/4 in balls.
