Makes 12
Ingredients:
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 tablespoons shortening
1 1/4 cups warm water
Instructions:
Put flour, salt and baking powder into bowl of food processor. Pulse to mix. Add shortening and pulse again until mixture resembles coarse meal. With machine running, pour in water until dough forms and rolls around sides of bowl. Remove dough from bowl; knead a few times by hand on lightly floured board to form a ball. Divide dough into 12 pieces; keep covered while you form tortillas. To form tortillas manually, roll each ball of dough into circle, about 7 or 8 inches in diameter, and cook briefly in a preheated iron skillet (no oil necessary). If you are using a tortilla maker, place a ball into the center and press gently. (Some tortilla makers shape and bake the tortillas; others just press the shell to prepare for a hot skillet. Both methods give delicious results.) Keep tortillas warm in a damp towel.
