Tortilla Wraps

These wraps were really easy (if a little time consuming) and are much, much nicer than the ones in a plastic packet!

300g Plain Flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
50g Lard (cold, diced)
150ml warm water

- Put the flour, salt and baking powder into a large bowl and add in the diced lard
- Rub the lard into the dry ingredients until the mix resembles bread crumbs
- Add almost all of the water and bring the mix together to form a dough (add more water if required - different flours absorb different amounts of water)
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth (10-15 minutes)
- Place the dough into a greased bowl, and cover with cling film. Leave to rest in a warm environment for about an hour.
- After an hour, turn the dough back onto a floured surface, and cut into 8

Pieces of eight!
- Roll out each piece of dough into a thin circle, about 8-10 inches in diameter. (you may need to cover the remaining dough with clingfilm to prevent in drying while you work)

Rolling, rolling, rolling...

Even with the circle guide I can't get that right!

- Heat a frying pan over a medium heat, and dry fry the tortilla for a minute or until it starts browning.

no. it's not a circle.
- Flip the tortilla and cook the other side until browned

It looks like a tortilla though!!
