Directions
Sift the flour and salt together in a bowl.
Cut the lard into the flour with the tips of fingers, working it real quick.
Then, little by little, Ipour in the cold water, until you get a good stiff dough.
Put it on a real solid table with flour.
Make a ball out of the dough..
Use the flat side of a mallet, and beat the dough until it blisters good.
Takes about half an hour.
Form the dough into balls, the size of little eggs, and flatten them a bit on the board.
Put a few pokes in the center with a fork, then bake in a hot 425 degree F oven for about 20 to 25 minutes.
Serve hot.
