Mix together the
flour, salt, and baking powder. Cut in the shortening until
the mixture has a mealy appearance. Slowly add the water while
mixing. Form the dough into a ball. Place the ball on a floured
board and knead until firm (about 2 minutes). Divide into 12
small balls. Cover and allow to rest for 30 minutes. Roll each
ball into a thin 7" tortilla. Heat a heavy skillet. Cook
the tortilla for 1 minute per side. Wrap in a damp towel. Serve
immediately.
