Homemade Flour Tortillas
Traditional flour tortillas - homemade and much better than store bought. Do not substitute vegetable oil or shortening for the lard.
π Recipe adapted from AllRecipes
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.
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.
