Tortillas

4 c. flour
1 1/2 T. baking powder
1 t. salt
3/4 c. shortening
1-2 c. hot water

Mix dry ingredients. Add shortening and mix until dough is crumbly. Make sure the water is hot and don't overbeat--otherwise the tortillas will be tough. Roll them out and cook in a dry, flour-dusted pan over medium heat until lightly browned on each side.
