Directions

  1. Warm the milk and whisk in the yeast, making sure not to touch the salt or sugar directly. Then, add the water.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and lard, then gradually add the liquid, starting with half of the flour. ≈ 4 min
  3. When working with the dough, knead it vigorously on a clean surface to develop the gluten. ≈ 10 min
  4. Let it rest for a few hours in a warm, dry place.
  5. Gradually take small portions of the dough, knead it again, and roll it out thinly, but not too thinly. ≈ 4 min
  6. Use a cookie cutter or a glass to cut out shapes, and then fry them in hot oil to prevent them from absorbing too much fat. They will puff up slightly during cooking.
