Tortillas

3c. flour
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.
