2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon shortening
3/4 cup warm/hot water
Put cast iron skillet/plate on stover over medium heat.
Mix flour, baking powder and salt together. Add shortening and mix with your fingers only, until consistency of ingredients is pretty uniform. Add the water (plus or minus a little - it takes practice to get the right consistency).
Knead/smear the dough for a while (sorry, I'm not sure how long!). Then break into 8 pieces. Knead each piece a little, then roll into a ball. Flatten/smush the ball and set aside.
Once all balls are made and flattened, roll out. Start the rolling pin in the middle and work your way out. Make 1/4 turns and keep rolling out until tortilla size.
Cook on cast iron skillet/plate on medium for 15 seconds. Flip, and blot out bubbles with wadded up clean towel.
Repeat for more tortillas. Works best in batches of 8 tortillas at a time.
