Ingredients

In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt.
Rub in the lard, then gradually add enough water to form a stiff dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10-15 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the mix feels dry, you may need to add a little more water.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll into balls.
Lightly flour the surface once more and roll each ball out with a rolling pin, giving the dough a quarter turn after each roll to keep the round even until it is about 30cm across.
Place a heavy-based flat frying pan over a medium heat and cook each tortilla for 45 seconds each side until it begins to brown. Use a knife or spatula to lift and flip the tortilla.
Keep the cooked tortillas warm in a clean, dry tea towel while you cook the rest!
