2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tbsp. shortening
3/4 c. ice water

Mix together flour, salt and baking powder. Cut in the shortening and add the water and stir until well mixed. Knead dough until it is smooth and satiny. Pinch dough off in small balls about 1 1/2" size. Roll balls in your hand until smooth and then dip in flour and set aside in a bowl. Roll one tortilla and then cook on hot griddle or iron skillet. Tortilla should not cook too long on either side. When it begins to bubble up, turn over. Take off of griddle and place between a clean, dry dishcloth. Repeat until done. You can be rolling another while one is cooking. (They cook fast!) If they begin getting too hot, turn down the heat. You may have to turn heat up and then down all through the process. It needs to be hot, but it can get hot too fast! Makes 1 dozen.
