Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder in a mixing bowl. I like to whisk them together to ensure they’re well-blended. Then, add the vegetable oil or lard and mix it in with your fingers until you achieve a crumbly texture that resembles sand. Once that’s done, pour in the warm water gradually and mix until it forms a soft dough. You might feel tempted to add a bit more water if it seems too dry, but just trust the process!
