Flour Tortillas   ---  makes 12

4 c. flour, all-purpose or 1/2 all-purpose and 1/2 whole wheat
1.5 tsp. salt
1.5 tsp. baking powder
4 T shortening, margarine and Crisco both work

Combine the dry ingredients, then cut in shortening.  Make a small well
in the center and gradually add water.  Knead the dough until it is
soft, smooth, and elastic.  Set aside 10 min., then divide into 12
equally-sized balls.  Roll balls into ~1/8" thick circles, and cook on
a preheated, ungreased grill for ~2 min./side, until the tortilla is
lightly speckled.  Cover to keep warm.
