Recipe - Flour Tortillas (Corrected)

2 cup Sifted allpurpose flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
One half teaspoon Salt
One half teaspoon Sugar
1 tablespoon Vegetable shortening; cold
One half cup Warm water; approximately

In a mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut
in shortening until flour looks as though it has small peas in it. Add
enough warm water to make a soft dough. Mix well and knead on a
wellfloured board for 3 to 5 minutes or until shiny and elastic. Cover
dough and let rest out of draft for 30 minutes. Form dough into balls 2 to
2 One half inches in diameter. On a lightly floured board, roll into circles 7
inches in diameter and 1/4inch thick. Cook on a hot, ungreased griddle for
2 minutes or until slightly brown at the edges. Turn and cook on other side
for 1 minute or until edges are brown. Keep warm, tightly wrapped in foil,
until ready to serve. (Or reheat, tightly wrapped in foil, in a preheated
300 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through)
