This is an easy kid friendly recipe that the whole family can help with!

1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 Tbsp. shortening
1/3 cup warm milk

In a medium bowl combine the flour, salt, baking powder and shortening.  Slowly add in the warm milk and mix.

Knead the dough until slightly tacky (like bread dough).  Form into 1.5 inch balls and roll out as flat as possible.

Cook in an ungreased skillet or griddle.

Butter, fold and eat!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We made the double batch pictured above using whole wheat flour.  If you choose whole wheat, add just a touch more milk.

These are great to let the kids help with!  They enjoy getting to knead the dough and roll out the tortillas.  Getting them round is always a challenge!
