Homemade Flour Tortillas
Just a few simple ingredients and you've got fresh homemade tortillas!
Servings: 12 tortillas
Ingredients
- 3 c. unbleached flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 4-6 T. lard
- 1 1/4 c. warm water
Instructions
- Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add lard and mix-in with both hands. Add warm water slowly until your dough is soft. Knead the dough for a few minutes.
- Pull dough into a dozen balls. Roll out your balls with a rolling pin to 1/8 inch think. (The thickness is important because you want the tortilla to be crispy on the outside a gooey on the inside.)
- Lay one raw tortilla in a very hot skillet for just a few seconds on each side, just until nice brown-tone spots form on the surface. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
