1 ½ tsp. baking powder
1/3 C. milk

Directions:
Directions:
Mix dry ingredients in your\ mixer. Mix milk and water, and heat to just below boiling. Add milk/water mixture and shortening to flour mixture and knead to a soft dough. Break into 20-24 balls. Let rest 10 minutes or more. Slightly flatten each ball with the palm of your hands. Roll out with almost no flour on the board, but with flour on the roller. If you have a tortilla press, you may use that. Cook on hot griddle or electric fry pan (about 375° F). Use a towel or large turner to press down and turn, repeating until the side is done. Turn and cook the other side the same way. The tortilla should be white, not browned. Roll warm tortillas and eat with butter or jam, or use with a taco or burrito filling.
