Ingredients

    2 C. Flour
    1 tsp. salt
    1 tsp. baking powder
    1 1/2 Tbsp. shortening (flaxseed can be substited for shortening)
    3/4 c. water

Directions

1. Sift the flour, salt & baking powder into a large mixing bowl.
2. Into the dry ingredients cut in the shortening & mix with your fingertips to combine.
3. Add the water, working the liquid into the dough until a sticky ball forms.
4. Divide the dough into 10-12 balls cover them again with a cloth.
5. Lightly dust a counter or pastry board w/flour & roll out each ball of dough into a circle or oval approximately 1/4" thick. If you want nicely rounded tortillas, trim off any ragged edges & discard. Don't roll the dough out more than once or the tortillas will be tough.
6. Heat a dry griddle or heavy skillet over high heat for 5 minutes. Cook the tortillas 30 seconds on each side or until the dough looks dry & slightly wrinkled & a few brown spots form on both surfaces. Do not over cook or they will be hard.

***shortening can be substituted with flaxseed. Follow the instructions on how much shortening equals flaxseed.
