Homemade Flour Tortillas

4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 Tbs lard
1 1/2 cups water

Whisk the flour, salt and baking powder together in a mixing bowl.  Mix in the lard with our 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 until golden on the other side.  Place the cooked tortilla in a tortilla warmer; continue rolling and cooking the remaining dough.
