Answer 1

How come u don't have anything else? Money? Go to a food bank, don't starve please:

Tortillas
4 all purpose flour
2 teaspoons Salt
4 teaspoons seasonings
2 tablespoons crisco
1 1/2 cups Warm water or more if needed

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt and baking powder. With a pastry blender, a fork or your hands, gradually work in the lard or shortening until it is all incorporated. Add enough warm water to make a soft but not sticky dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead for 5 minutes.
Divide the dough into 1/4 cup (3 oz) portions and form them into balls.
Roll each ball into a flat round about 6 inches in diameter and 1/8 inches thick.
Heat a large heavy skillet over medium high heat. Place the tortillas one at a time into the dry hot skillet; cook until brown on one side, then turn and brown the other side.
Remove from the skillet and keep warm in cloth towel.


If you have baking powder u can try this:
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons butter
3/4 cup water
Combine ingredients. Drop by teaspoonfuls on top of boiling seosoned water

Answer 2

If you have butter, flour, brown sugar and cinnamon, you can make some pretty good cinnamon buns.

Mix up the flour, shortening and milk like you're going to make biscuits and roll it out. Spread on melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon, roll the whole thing into a log and cut. Then just bake them.

That's about the only thing I can think of but I wish you the best of luck and I hope you get what you need soon. Happy Holidays.

Definantly make bisquits, that will fill hungry bellies!!

2 cups Flour
3 teaspoons baking powder (if you have it)
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup CRISCO
3/4cup water
Heat oven to 425°F.
In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt; cut in crisco until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Add water; stir with fork until blended. Transfer dough to lightly floured surface. Knead gently 8 to 10 times. Roll dough 1⁄2 inch thick. Cut with floured 2- inch-round cutter.
