What you will need ~

• 4 cups of flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 4 tablespoons of lard

How to make ~

Put flour, salt, and baking powder into a medium bowl and mix well. Work the lard into the mixture with your fingers until it looks like coarse meal. Add 1 1/3 cups of warm water and stir until a soft dough forms. On a work surface, knead 15-20 times and then cover and let rest for about 15-20 minutes. Divide the dough into 16 balls for 6 inch tortillas and 8 inch balls for 12 inch tortillas. Roll out each tortillas to desired size. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat until hot. Cook the tortillas one at a time until blistered and charred in spots, about 1½ minutes per side. Wrap in a dish towel to keep warm.
