Tortillas

I LOVE this recipe. I have tried a few different recipes for tortillas and they never turn out right. I got this recipe from a friend in Ann Arbor. They turn out perfect if you put the dough in the refrigerator for a while before cooking them. Lately I have been making a lot of dough and putting it in the fridge. Whenever we need tortillas I just use some of the dough and put the rest in back in the fridge. Here is the recipe.

Servings: 32

5 cups flour (1/2 whole wheat if you want)
1/3 cup shortening
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
2 cups water

Combine everything except the water. Knead together with hands or beaters until well mixed. Add about 2 cups warm water until dough sticks together and will not stick to hands. Divide into egg size balls, roll out, throw to stretch. Cook in cast iron or heavy aluminum dry pan, hot and quick. Do not over cook.

For (15) tortillas use:
3 cups flour
3 Tbsp. shortening
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 cup water
