Ingredients
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder.
Cut in the lard/shortening/coconut oil using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add warm water, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Form the dough into a ball, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter.
Heat a griddle or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for 1-2 minutes per side, until lightly browned and puffy in spots.
As the tortillas are cooked, stack them under a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and pliable.
