Homemade Flour Tortillas

Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1 1/4 cups warm water

Instructions
Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Cut in shortening by hand until mixture loosely holds shape when gripped. Add water and stir until well combined (dough should be sticky).
On a well-floured surface knead dough until no longer sticky (about 10-12 times). Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
Form dough into small balls and dip in flour until well coated. Roll to desired size (the thinner the better).
Preheat a large skillet or griddle to medium high heat; place rolled dough in pan until bubbles form, flip over until bubbles form on other side then remove from heat.

LOVE flour variety but NOT corn, UGH.
I remember watching a lady in the window of
the Old Town Cafe in San Diego as she made corn
tortillas.
I guess that is why I love fluffy Middle Eastern bread also and nan from India.
