Flour Tortillas

1. 1

   Measure your dry ingredients in a standing mixer bowl with a hook attachment (or just a normal bowl and some elbow grease!!). Stir flour, baking powder and salt until combined, then add the lard and mash it in with a fork or pastry blender until the flour is crumbly.

2. 2

   Add warm milk and mix until the dough is smooth and elastic adding a little warm milk or water if the dough is dry. Cover with saran wrap for 20 minutes.

3. 3

   Once rested cut into 8 small pieces (or 6, or 4), round them and rest for 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Roll each tortilla out until it is consistently thin (I like mine very thin..) You don't need flour, at least I never use any. Cook in a hot pan that has not been greased. The tortilla should start to bubble and inflate. Flip the tortilla and cook the other side for a minute or so, remove, then cover with a towel until you're ready to serve.
