By - MexicanFood

Ingredients:

2 cups	flour
1/4 cup	shortening (you can substitute butter) cold
1/2 teaspoon	salt
1/2 teaspoon	baking powder
1 cup	warm water

Method

• Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• Add vegetable shortening.
• Next add warm water a little at a time until your dough is soft and not sticky. You do not need very hot water.
• Knead the dough for a few minutes.
• Now you will pull off pieces of dough to form about 12 small dough balls. Let them rest for at least 10 minutes, longer if you like.
• Roll each ball of dough out into a round shape, approx. 1/8 inch thick.
• Cook from both sides.
• When they are done it should have lots of nice brown speckles. Place them in a  towel.
