->Flour Tortillas 12 <-

2 cups flour

1 cup water

1/2 tsp. salt

2 Tbsp shortening

Mix and knead for 5 minutes. Let rest a few minutes. Pinch off

about a half-dollar size piece and, on a floured surface, roll flat

with a rolling pin until 1/8" thick. Hint: Each time you roll the

pin over the tortilla, gently pick it up and turn it; this gives

it the roundness. Also, make sure you are working on a floured

surface and keep your rolling pin floured.
