4 Cups Better for Bread Flour (Gold Medal)
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp salt
4 T. Crisco Vegetable Shortening (or Olive Oil)
1-1-1/2 C Warm Water

In Large Bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in shortening until combined. Gradually add 1 C warm water, tossing together until dough can be gathered into a ball (if necessary, add more water, 1 T at a time) Knead dough 15 -20 minutes. Cover and let dough rest for 15 minutes.
For 6 inch tortillas, divide the dough into 24 equal portions; shape into balls, If you want bigger tortillas divide accordingly.
On lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to flatten each ball of dough into a 6 inch circle (or bigger depending what size you want the tortillas to be) Stack the tortilla circles, separating them with two layers of waxed paper.
Place the tortillas, one at a time on a medium hot ungreased skillet or griddle. Cook tortilla for 20-30 seconds or until puffy. Turn and cook 20-30 seconds more or until edges curl slightly. wrap tortillas in foil. Makes 24 (6 inch) or 16 (8 inch) tortillas.
