Tortillas w/ Lard
As a foray into totally authentic Mexican Cooking, I would like to make some
flour tortillas with lard. Can someone provide the proper recipe (proportions), for this? Thanks a bunch. SD -- Be Careful What You Wish For. |

Tortillas w/ Lard
Restaurant Style Tortillas
Ingredients: 4 cups (15 ounces) well sifted flour 1 cup water 1/4 cup (2 ounces) lard 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup reserved flour to bind, if required In the mixing bowl of an electric mixer, add the above ingredients and mix until well blended, with the dough hook attachment, about 5 minutes. Alternatively, use a food processor with the dough blade, or, knead by hand. The dough should be moist and pliable. If it is still dry, add 1/4 to 1/3 cup water as needed. Remove the mixing bowl and cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow dough to rest for 30 minutes to an hour. Form 8 balls. If the dough is too sticky, add extra flour if required. On a floured surface roll each ball with a rolling pin until formed into 6-8 inch rounds. In a large skillet, griddle, or a comal, over high heat, brown each tortilla side for one minute being careful not to burn. You are looking for air pockets and brown flecks among the white. |
