Preparation

Step 1

Blend dry ingredients together, cut in shortening. Slowly pour the boiling water into dry ingredients. Continue stirring until mix forms a dough (rather than lumps). Let set for 15 minutes. Divide the dough into 10 lumps about the size of a golf ball roll each ball out very thinly between sheets of parchment paper.
Remove the top sheet of paper, add tortilla to hot skillet. After the tortilla cooks for a few seconds, slip off the remaining sheet of parchment paper. When the underside of the tortilla is dry with a few brown spots, turn it and cook the other side.
