Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon shortening |
1 cup hot water |
melted butter or margarine (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; stir well. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually stir in water, mixing well.
2. Shape dough into 1/2-inch balls, and place on a lightly floured surface. Roll each ball into a very thin circle about 4 inches in diameter.
3. Heat an ungreased cast-iron griddle over medium heat; cook tortillas 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Pat tortillas lightly with spatula while browning the second side if they puff during cooking. Serve hot with butter, if desired.
4. Note: Tortillas may also be cooked in an ungreased electric skillet heated to 375°.
