Heat a skillet or pan on medium high the whole time you are making the mixture

Get a large bowl

Get out flour, baking powder, salt, Crisco or shortening, and boiling water

In the large bowl mix flour, baking powder, and salt with your hand and then add the Crisco make sure there are no clumps in the mixture and mix very well

Add boiling water to the mixture and mix with your hand this will be very hot so be careful you can use a spoon but I'm more hands on and your hand can mix better

Nead the dough but not to much if you mix to much the end result of your tortillas will be hard and crackerish

After the dough is neaded pull small balls out of the big dough ball until there is only small balls should make up to 12 balls

After you have made the small dough balls roll each individual ball out with a rolling pin

After you are done rolling the dough out set one tortilla in the skillet or pan at a time

After you have put it in the skillet cook it for about 3 minutes on each side, to flip you could use a spatula

Make sure they're cooked fully all the way through
