- 6 cups flour
- 6 tsp. baking powder
- 3/4 shortening vegetable oil
- 3 tsp. salt
- 2 cups water more or less to make a soft dough
Mix dry ingredients together (flour, baking powder, and salt)
Add shortening and water
Divide into 18-20 pieces
Roll or pat each piece into a circle, using flour if dough is sticky
Using high heat, spray a skillet and fry tortilla, approximately 30 minutes per side
The dough can also be rolled into balls and put into a bag or tightly covered container
Store in the refrigerator for use later that day.
Take dough out of the refrigerator 10-20 minutes before you are ready to fry them so they can warm to room temperature.
