Flour Tortillas

Recipe Ingredients

4 cups	250g / 8.8oz	All purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons	7.5ml	Salt
1 1/2 teaspoons	7.5ml	Baking powder
4 tablespoons	60ml	Lard or shortening
1 1/2 cups	355ml	Warm water

Recipe Instructions

Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Cut in shortening. Make a well in the center and add water, a small amount at a time, to form a dough. Knead dough in bowl until smooth and elastic. Cover and wet aside for ten minutes.

Form dough into egg-sized balls and flatter between palms. With rolling pin, roll each ball into a 6 inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick.

Cook on preheated ungreased skillet over medium high heat, approx. two minutes per side, until tortilla looks slightly speckled. Cover with a clean towel to keep warm and soft until served. The tortillas may be cooled and stored in plastic bags in the freezer for later use.
