Dissolve salt in room-temperature water.

Add lard into the flour.

Mix the lard into the flour using the biscuit method until there are pieces no larger than a pea.

Make a small hole in the center of the bowl and pour in 2/3 of the water.

Using a fork or whisk, mix the water into the flour.

If there's still a lot of flour, slowly add in the remaining water.

When a soft dough ball begins to form and all dry flour has been absorbed, begin to work the dough with your hands.

Ensure the surface is clean and sprinkle lightly with flour.

Knead the dough, adding more flour if it sticks to the surface.

To knead, bring the dough over itself using the ball of your hand, then roll it back out.

Continue kneading for three to four minutes until the dough is stiffer than bread dough but softer than pasta dough.

A smooth and glossy surface should appear when the dough is ready.

Wrap the dough in Saran wrap and allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator before rolling it out.
