Belizean Tortillas

Ingredients:

2 Cups Flour

1/4 Cup Shortening

1 tsp Baking Powder (prove)

About 3/8 Cup Water

1/4 tsp Salt

Cooking Instructions:

Mix dry ingredients well. Cut in shortening with a fork until it disappears. Add water and knead until you have dough. (Add water, one tsp at a time, if it's too dry). Cover and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Cut into six equal pieces and knead each piece until you can make a nice round ball. Coat the inside of a flat bottomed bowl with shortening. Flatten each ball into a round tortilla on the bottom of the bowl. Fry tortillas on a hot comal until they are slightly brown on both sides. The comal should be very hot, and if you cook too long, the tortillas will be tough.
