Tere'S White Flour Tortillas
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 6 tablespoons vegetable shortening
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
- 1 tablespoon nonfat dry milk
- Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal; make a well in center of mixture. Combine hot water and dry milk, and add to flour mixture. Stir until blended. Cover and let rest 20 minutes.
- Divide dough into 18 equal portions, shaping each portion into a ball (cover remaining dough to prevent drying). Roll each ball into a 7-inch round. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each round 1 minute on each side or until lightly browned.
