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.

Steps:
- Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until tiny bubbles start to form around the edges of the pan (the milk should be 180 degrees F), 4 to 5 minutes. Immediately remove from the heat and stir in the lard until melted. Let cool for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl until completely combined. Pour in the warm milk mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
- When cool enough to handle, knead the dough in the bowl until almost completely smooth, about 3 minutes; do not overwork, the dough should be soft and only slightly elastic and not sticky. Wrap in plastic and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour to relax dough.
- Divide the dough into 16 balls about a scant 3 tablespoons each (or 46g.). Arrange the balls on a rimmed baking sheet and cover with a damp kitchen towel until ready to use.
- Working with one dough ball at a time, roll out on a lightly floured surface to a 7-inch round.
- Heat a medium cast-iron skillet or large griddle over medium-high heat.
- Working with one at a time (unless using a large griddle), cook the tortillas, reducing the heat if they are getting dark too quickly, until air bubbles form on the surface and the bottom is brown in spots, about 30 seconds. Poke any large bubbles with a fork to release steam, flip the tortillas and cook until brown in spots on the other side, about 30 seconds. Stack and wrap the tortillas in a clean kitchen towel and keep warm. Repeat rolling and cooking the remaining dough balls.

I usually have to double this flour tortilla recipe because we go through them so quickly. The homemade tortillas are so tender and chewy, you'll never use store-bought again after learning how to make tortillas. -Kristin Van Dyken, Kennewick, Washington

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.

Steps:
- Mix and knead for 5 minutes.
- Let rest a few minutes.
- Pinch off about a half-dollar size piece and, on a floured surface, roll flat with a rolling pin until 1/8" thick.
- Hint: Each time you roll the pin over the tortilla, gently pick it up and turn it; this gives it the roundness.
- Also, make sure you are working on a floured surface and keep your rolling pin floured.
