Steps:
- 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.

FLOUR TORTILLA RECIPE
Recipe for making flour tortillas from Thibeault's Table. Credit to Ann from the gardenweb internet addy as the majority of this receipe comes from her post: http:// ths.gardenweb.com/ forums/ load/recipex/ msg0611460316237.html?7 I like this easy recipe for tortillas that uses staples usually on hand. I am battling cancer and cannot eat yeast or sugar, so tortillas are a great alternative to bread!

Steps:
- Sift the flour, salt & baking powder into a large mixing bowl.
- Into the dry ingredients cut in the shortening, or add oil if you are using this option, & mix with your fingertips to combine.
- Add the milk or water, working the liquid into the dough until a sticky ball forms.
- Wrap in plastic and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 8-10 balls (for small tortillas) or 6-8 balls for larger ones, cover them again with the damp cloth.
- Lightly dust a counter or pastry board w/flour & roll out each ball of dough into a circle or oval approximately 1/8" thick. If you want nicely rounded tortillas, trim off any ragged edges & discard. Don't roll the dough out more than once or the tortillas will be tough.
- Heat a dry griddle or heavy skillet over high heat for 5 minutes. Cook the tortillas 30 seconds on each side or until the dough looks dry & slightly wrinkled & a few brown spots form on both surfaces. Do not over cook or they will be hard. Butter and roll up and wrap in damp tea towel to keep warm as you cook the other tortillas.
- (I place cooked ones wrapped in the damp towel in a low 200 oven to keep warm, while I am cooking the rest.) Serve warm.~~.

PERFECT FLOUR TORTILLAS
After playing around with many recipes I have finally found the right combination of ingredients so that they turn out just right! Prep time includes time to let dough sit and cooking time is per tortilla. I hope that this is easy to understand...its the first recipe I'm posting if you have any difficulty or don't understand it please let me know as it may not be written the way I would show someone.

Steps:
- Into a bowl combine the flour and salt. Sift until it has been mixed well.
- Next add the lard one scoop at a time until you have a crumbly mixture.
- Slowly add water while mixing with hands. The mixture should soak up the water right away. Spread a little bit of lard on your hands in order to get the mix off.
- With the lard still on your hands, tear off golf ball sized pieces and roll each piece into a tight ball.
- Once all of the dough is made into separate balls let stand in bowl at room temperature for about half an hour to an hour, while covered with a kitchen cloth.
- After they have sat for the desired amount of time, roll out into a thin round flat shape (you can make them more or less thick according to personal preference).
- Heat dough up on very hot ungreased pan. Each side should take 15-25 seconds to cook. You will know when the second side is done when a large bubble forms. Each side should have several brown spots on them.
- You can place cooked tortillas into plastic bag with a kitchen cloth inside to keep them soft.
