Mrs. Becky's Famous Tortillas

7 c. flour
1 c. + 2 Tbsp. shortening (Crisco)
1 Tbsp. salt
2 1/4 c. almost hot water

Mix the flour and salt together.  Cut in Crisco (I used a fork) really well until it resembles pie dough.

Add all of the water and one time and mix as much as possible with a wooden spoon.  Feel free to be a royal brute to the dough.  There is no need to be soft.

Place a generous amount of flour in the rolling area.  Roll balls about the size of golf balls or slightly bigger into flat, very thin pancakes.  Cook in either a dry frying pan or I used the griddle (the one I use for making pancakes.)  Flip over once bubbles start to grow large and bottom side is turning golden.

SO incredibly yummy!
