Tortilla in a Bag

Last spring I went to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point
with my brother and his kids,
and they were making these. 
The kids really enjoyed it, and they were really tasty.

Step 1:  take a gallon ziplock bag and fill it with 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 3 Tablespoons shortening.

Step 2:  close bag and work mixture with fingers until ingredients form a soft dough and pull away from sides.

Step 3:  Add 1/2 cup hot water

Step 4:  Close bag and work mixture with fingers until ingredients form soft dough and pull away from sides.

Step 5:  let the dough rest for 10 minutes. (while it was resting we made homemade butter by shaking containers of cream)

Step 6:  remove dough from bag and divide into 4-5  equal balls.  roll out balls into thin, round tortillas.

Step 7:  cook in pan, flipping as required until both sides are cooked.

serve with butter, sugar and cinnamon
