How to make it
Mix the flour with the salt and baking powder in a large bowl.
Melt the lard and stir it into the hot water until even.
Pour the liquid into the flour and work it with a spoon until it cools enough to handle.
Knead by hand for ten minutes to a smooth elastic dough.
Cover it and rest it twenty minutes at room temperature.
Divide it into eight, roll each into a half-centimetre round and cut a slit in the centre.
Fry at 180 °C for a minute and a half a side and serve with sugar or dulce de leche.
