In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, and salt. With pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in shortening until well blended. Add warm water (use more, if necessary), stirring until mixture is completely moistened. Form into a ball. On floured surface, knead or work dough with hands until it is no longer stickyabout 5 minutes at room temperature. Then, on floured surface, roll out each ball into 18 inch circle. With paring knife, cut 5 tortillas from each circle (use rim of 5 3/4 inch mixing bowl as guide). On heated, ungreased griddle, bake tortillas 1 minute. Turn, and bake 1 minute longer. Makes 10. *Authentic tortillas are made with masa harina, not nationally available. This adaptation uses regular cornmeal. McCall World Wide Cooking
