Traditional flour tortillas - homemade and much better than store bought. Do not substitute vegetable oil or shortening for the lard. Ingredients:
4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
2 tablespoons lard |
1 1/2 cups water |
Directions:
1. Whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Mix in the lard with your fingers until the flour resembles cornmeal. Add the water and mix until the dough comes together; place on a lightly floured surface and knead a few minutes until smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
2. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Use a well-floured rolling pin to roll a dough ball into a thin, round tortilla. Place into the hot skillet, and cook until bubbly and golden; flip and continue cooking until golden on the other side. Place the cooked tortilla in a tortilla warmer; continue rolling and cooking the remaining dough.
