Quick, easy, and delicious. I usually double the recipe.
- 143 g all-purpose flour (100%)
- 28 g lard (20%)
- 85 g water, hot (60%)
- 2.3 g baking powder (1.62%)
- 3 g salt (2.15%)
- Total 261.3 g
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together. Mix hot water and lard together and add dry ingredients. Mix and knead until dough is well-developed. Should be a soft, supple, and slightly sticky dough. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Divide into 4 pieces, lightly roll into balls, and roll out into 8-inch circles. Cook in a medium-hot cast iron skillet, for 30 to 45 seconds on a side (or until light brown spots appear). They should be soft. Wrap cooked tortillas in a dish towel to keep warm.
Once in the rhythm, roll the next one out while one is cooking and you can crank 'em out.
