3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 lb. lard or shortening
1/2 c. warm water

Mix first three ingredients together well. Add lard or shortening and mix well. Add about 1/2 cup warm water, little by little (or more, just to mix). Make the dough so it can be rolled--not too soft. Roll in hands into small balls. Place in bowl to set for a while. Cover with cloth or Saran Wrap. After setting, roll into tortillas and cook on both sides.
