In a bowl pour 3 cups of all purpose flour
Add 1 Tsp of salt (adjust if you want next time)
Add 1/4 tsp of baking powder
Mix together.
Add 1/8 Cup of lard
Mix in with dry ingredients and crumble it to mix it well with flour until it disappears.
Use 1 cup of hot water as hot as you can bare. Pour in little by little and knead well in between each pour. Stop applying water if you feel that it might get too sticky. You need to work it for at least 5 minutes. Put your weight into it and use your fists.
Cover with a towel and let sit for 5 minutes
Make small balls like golf balls and make your testales and let rest for 10 minutes
While resting, heat your comal on high and once smoking lower to medium high.
When cooking, place on comal and once you see small bubbles forming, quickly flip. The first side should only cook for like 10 seconds. Once you see it turn white, flip once more and it should puff up!
