Categories     Bread

Yield 12 Tortillas

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon lard
3/4 cup water

Steps:

  • 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 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. 2. Preheat a large skillet (or BBQ hotplate) 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.
