Ingredients
Step-by-step preparation
1
🥣 Mix the ingredients
In a bowl, place the flour and salt. Melt the lard and add it to the warm water. Pour into the flour and mix until you have a homogeneous dough.
2
🤲 Knead well
Work the dough on the table for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Let it rest covered for 10 minutes.
3
✂️ Divide and stretch
Divide the dough into portions. Stretch each one with your hands to form a thin rectangle, almost transparent.
4
🔥 Fry until golden
Heat the oil to 180°C. Fry the tortas 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
5
🍽️ Serve hot
Accompany with dulce de leche, sugar and cinnamon, or savory with cheese and ham according to preference.
💡 Chef's tip: The dough should be very elastic. If it tears when stretching, let it rest longer. The oil must be hot enough to make them crispy.
