Ph.713.995.5502
Ingredients:
2 cups un-sifted
bread flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup lard, chilled
3/4 cup warm water
Directions:
Mix the flour,
salt, and baking powder in a bowl. Add
the lard and mix in with your fingers until
you have completely crumbled it in.
Slowly add the warm water and mix with a
large spoon. Take the ball out and put
on a "floured" board and knead 3-5
minutes-until elastic. Store in a warm
place inside an oiled, plastic bag for 1
hour. Pinch off pieces of dough about
the size of a golf ball (1 inch) and let
rest 15 minutes. Roll the balls into
circles approximately 7 inches in size.
Cook on a HOT (450-degrees) griddle turning
only once. Remove to a basket lined
with a cloth towel or put between a towel
until cool. After the tortillas have
cooled completely, store them in a plastic
bag. The best homemade tortillas by far!
Yield: 9-10 tortillas.
