Flour Tortillas

4c. flour
1 tsp salt
11/2 tsp baking powder
5 tb. Shortening
2 c hot water

In a bowl mix all dry ingredients. Cut in shortening until crumbly looking. Add the water and mix until dough is gathered in a soft ball. Let dough rest 10-15 mins. Divide dough into golf ball size portions coat with flour and cover with plastic, set aside. Roll each ball into a round on a floured surface, about the size of a med. Plate. Cook on a dry skillet over medium heat turning once, until light golden spots form.

This recipe comes from my mom Gloria Dixon. She makes them without using a recipe and they are heaven!!! Sadly I have yet to perfect my tortilla making skills.
