Homemade Tortillas

1/3 c flax meal

1 cup flour {1/2 whole wheat / 1/2 white}

1/2 t. salt

1 t. baking powder

2 T. shortening

1/2 flour -you may not use it all

Mix the flour, salt, baking powder, and flax together in a small-ish bowl. Cut in the shortening with a fork. Add enough water to form dough into a bowl. Let rest until everything else is ready.

When that time comes, roll out the dough until kinda flat. Fry in a pre-heated skillet or griddle, on both sides, being careful to cook through without making it crunchy {or it will crack}. Makes 2 big and 2 little tortillas.
