Instructions
  1. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and lard in a stand mixer with a paddle.
  2. Mix until it resembles a coarse cornmeal mixture.
  3. With a dough hook add water to mixture. Mix for 4-6 minutes.
  4. Remove dough from bowl onto a floured surface.
  5. Divide dough into 1 oz. portions. Roll into balls and cover with a clean towel to rest for 20 minutes.
  6. Heat a cast iron pan to medium high (dry).
  7. Press each ball of dough using a tortilla press or rolling pin (silpat works great for a non-stick surface to roll tortillas) making them very thin, about 6-7" in diameter.
  8. Place each tortilla, one at a time into a dry hot skillet and cook until a speckled golden brown.
