1&1/2t. salt
1t. baking powder*
4T. shortening, butter, or margarine
Combine ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add a small amount of lukewarm water to moisten mixture. Knead for 15 min. Roll out dough in small amounts to form tortillas (make them about 4-5 in. across). Use a hot griddle or heavy skillet (ungreased). Do them fast; you will notice the color changing and a little brown will form here and there. Test for doneness with fork.
*If tortillas come out too thick for your liking, you may add less of the baking powder or leave it out.
