Homemade Flour Tortillas

                                                                                                          

Matt.28:18 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 tablespoons lard (may use margarine, shortening or butter)

1 1/2 cups water

Directions

Whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Mix in the lard with your fingers until the flour resembles cornmeal. Add the water and mix until the dough comes together; place on a lightly floured surface and knead a few minutes until smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Use a well-floured rolling pin to roll a dough ball into a thin, round tortilla. Place into the hot skillet, and cook until bubbly and golden; flip and continue cooking until golden on the other side. Place the cooked tortilla in a tortilla warmer; continue rolling and cooking the remaining dough.
