Flour Tortillas - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups flour
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons shortening

Preparation

Mix and knead for 5 minutes.
Let rest a few minutes.
Pinch off about a half-dollar size piece and, on a floured surface, roll flat with a rolling pin until 1/8\" thick.
Hint: Each time you roll the pin over the tortilla, gently pick it up and turn it; this gives it the roundness.
Also, make sure you are working on a floured surface and keep your rolling pin floured.
