Homemade Tortillas

6 cups flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups water

1/2 cup shortening, or oil, (bacon grease adds a little flavor to oil or shortening :)

Mix 4 cups of flour with rest of ingredients. Add rest of flour a little at a time until it makes a stiff dough. Knead lightly for 1 minute. Break into small balls of dough and then roll balls of dough into tortillas. Fry in a lightly greased pan turning tortillas when lightly browned on each side.
