Flour Tortillas

Step 1: Mix together lard, salt, and flour with a pastry cutter or food processor until lard is incorporated.

Step 2: Add water a bit at a time and knead into a smooth dough.

Step 3: Divide dough into 6 pieces, roll into a ball, and let sit for 30 minutes under a towel or plastic wrap.

Step 4: Place dough ball on a piece of waxed paper, flatten slightly, then top with another piece of paper and slightly flattened dough ball.

Step 5: Roll dough this way, 2 pieces at a time into 8 inch circles.

Step 6: Cook tortillas for a couple of minutes on an ungreased comal or cast iron skillet; avoid breaking any bubbles and lightly brown each side.

Step 7: Allow to cool then store in a ziplock bag until needed.
