Ingredients
3.0 c
All Purpose Flour
3.0 tbsp
lard
1.5 tsp
Salt
1.0 c
warm water
Instructions
1.Add the salt to the flour and mix well. Use your fingers to crumble the lard into the flour mixture. Add 1 cup warm water and stir as much as you can with a spoon, then dump onto a flat surface and knead into a cohesive ball. Let rest for at least 30 minutes.
2.Tear into golfball sized chunks, rolling between your hands to shape them into smooth balls.
3.Use a rolling pin to roll them out approximately 5-6 inches in diameter.
4.Heat a comal/griddle to medium high temperature and add a tortilla.
5.Cook each side for 45-60 seconds or until light brown spots form.
6.As one tortilla cooks, roll out the next to expedite the process.
