Ingredients

• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 cups vegetable shortening
• 0.5 cups hot water
• 0.25 cups all-purpose flour for dusting

Instructions

1. 1 Whisk 1 ¾ cups flour, salt, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Cut in vegetable shortening using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. 2 Form a well in the middle. Mix in hot water, working flour mixture and water together with a fork. Transfer to a cutting board.
3. 3 Knead until a smooth, soft dough is formed, about 3 minutes. Add more flour if dough is too sticky.
4. 4 Flour the cutting board, cover dough with the bowl, and let rest for 15 minutes.
5. 5 Cut dough into eight equal parts; cover until needed. Roll out dough balls by hand or with a tortilla press.
6. 6 Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place 1 tortilla in skillet; cook until begins to bubble, about 1 minute. Flip tortilla; cook 1 minute more. Flip again and cook 1 minute more. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
