Ingredients
- 4 cups Four
- 1 cup warm water
- 1/2 cup Lard
- 7 grams Baking Powder
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and lard. Utilize your hands, a dough cutter, or a food processor to mix the ingredients until they form a coarse flour-like texture.
- Incorporate the baking powder and salt into the mixture, ensuring they are well blended.
- Pour the warm water into the dry ingredients and thoroughly combine them using your hands, ensuring they are well mixed.
- Once the dough reaches a state of elasticity when touched, proceed by wrapping it in plastic until you are ready to use it.
- Prepare individual balls by dividing the dough. The size of each ball should correspond to the desired size of your tortillas. To achieve the basic shape, utilize a tortilla press. However, if you prefer thinner and larger tortillas, employ a rolling pin in addition to the press. Experiment to find your ideal thickness and size for your personal preference.
