4 c. flour
2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. baking powder
2/3 c. shortening
1 c. hot water

Combine the flour, salt and baking powder. Add the shortening and mix well by hand until the shortening is evenly distributed in the flour mixture. Add hot water, kneading well and as quickly as possible until all the flour mixture is rounded up in a ball and the bowl is clean. Then make individual tortillas.
