Here is how you make Mama's Homemade Flour Tortillas:

Preheat comale on low/medium heat. In a large bowl blend all dry ingredients with a wisk. Add shortening and blend. Slowly add boiling water just a little at a time, knead in, add more, knead in, etc. Keep adding water till masa becomes pliable enough to manipulate with your hands (you may not use all water). May still be a little sticky.Remove masa from bowl and knead just a couple minutes more on a wood cutting board with a little bit more flour, just enough to get rid of stickiness. Return masa to bowl, spray with a little bit of cooking spray, cover and let stand for no less than 15 minutes. The longer you let stand, the more easier the masa will be to work with.Take a small handful of masa (2" in diameter) and form into a ball, then flatten in your hand or in a tortilla press. Roll out on your wood cutting board with a rolling pin to make as flat as possible. Place rolled out tortilla on comale and cook about 1 minute or as soon as it starts to bubble, turn with a metal spatula and cook the other side for about the same amount of time. Remove from heat and place in a dish cloth or steamer. Enjoy!!Serving Size:?Makes about 24-6 inch flour tortillas
