Homemade Flour Tortillas

Warning: It's hard to go back to store-bought after these!  Easy to make and so delicious--one of James's specialties from his family.

4 c. flour

1- 1 1/2 T. baking powder

1 t. salt

3/4 c. shortening

1-2 c. hot water

Mix the dry ingredients first.  Add the water until a nice, warm doughy consistency.  Roll into a ball and flatten.  Fry in a pan dusted with flour (no oil).
