Jill's Flour Tortillas

2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons shortening
1/2 cup hot water

Mix salt into flour. Cut shortening into flour until uniform crumbly texture is reached. Add hot water gradually, mixing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Knead with your hands on a floured surface until dough is elastic and smooth - about 4 minutes. Cover and let dough rest for 10 minutes. Divide dough into 12 golf ball sized balls. Roll out one at a time on floured surface approximately 7 inches in diameter. Cook on a hot ungreased griddle 10 to 30 seconds on ease side - until spotted and tender. Serve immediately or keep warm until ready to use.

Thank you so much for doing this, Karen! The pictures are great and LOVE that we can still get recipes. Sorry I couldn't make it this time but look forward to the next time I can attend.
