In a large bowl, mix 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 cup of sugar together well.

Add 1/3 cup of vegetable shortening and mix until it resembles fine crumbs.

Incorporate 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla into the mixture, ensuring even distribution.

Gradually add 1/4 cup of warm evaporated milk, mixing until combined.

Knead the dough on a clean surface for about 15 minutes until smooth.

Let the dough sit for a bit while cleaning up the area.

Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a ping pong ball.

Press each ball between two pieces of plastic using a tortilla press or an electric griddle.

Optionally, knead in chopped pecans into some of the dough before pressing.

Cook the gorditas on the electric griddle, flipping when bubbles form on the surface.
