TORTILLAS DE HARINA
Flour Tortillas

Instructions:
Sift flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Add shortening and mix until well distributed. Add lukewarm water and blend well. Turn out on a lightly-floured board and knead about 50 strokes. Divide dough into 12 equal-sized pieces and form each piece into a ball. Cover with a cloth and let stand for 15 minutes. Roll each ball into a round tortilla, 8 inches in diameter. Cook on a moderately hot ungreased skillet until golden brown in spots, turning once and being careful not to break air bubbles. Makes 12 tortillas.
