Step 1:
Take 2 cups of all-purpose flour. I recommend sifting it in there to make sure it’s fine. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Traditionally, folks would be using 1-2 teaspoons, however I like a little more pop in the bread so I’m using 1 tablespoon.
Step 2:
Cut in 2 tablespoons of lard with a spoon or your fingers. Keep working it until is is crumbled into the mixture.
Step 3:
Pour the dry ingredients on a cutting board (or other surface you’re working on) and form into a pile. With your finger make a well in the middle.
Step 6:

That way we’re making sure that any of that lard and oil in there isn’t going to clump up. Knead for 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 7:
When the dough isn’t sticky, form it into a good-sized ball, and place back on the floured surface. Roll is out to about 1/2-inch thick, keeping it in a round shape.
