This was a largely experimental recipe, but I think the end results came out pretty tasty!
Ingredients:
4 cups flour
2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 cup water
6 tbs lard (or shortening)
Directions:
Blend dry ingredients, be sure to mix well.
Add the lard, shortening CAN be used, but you'll lose a lot of the flavor and the texture will be more cake-like; lard really is better.
Once the dough is crumbly begin adding the water gradually. Add water until the dough is smooth but not sticky.
Divide the dough into about 16-20 balls and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
Lightly dust your work surface and rolling pin with flour, and begin rolling out each one to about 1/8 inch, flipping and turning as needed to avoid sticking and keep the circular shape.
Heat a non-stick or cast iron pan over medium heat, and cook each tortilla individually for about 15-20 seconds per side. When it starts to get golden brown spots, it's done.
They are best if served immediately.
