Best Flour Tortillas
- 4 cups White All-purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 2 Tablespoons Lard
- 1-1/2 cup Hot Water
- Mix together the flour, salt and baking powder in a large bowl. Add the lard and mix by hand until the flour resembles cornmeal.
- Pour in the hot water a little bit at a time and mix until the dough comes together. Place it on a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle pan over medium-high heat. Break off equal-sized pieces, roll into a ball and roll into a thin, round tortilla shape. Make sure your rolling pin is well floured.
- Place on the hot skillet, cook until bubbly, flip and repeat twice. Wrap cooked tortillas with a towel or put in a tortilla warmer.
- Makes approximately 24 tortillas.
