method
1. Mix together the flour, salt and sugar. Rub in the lard.
2. Cream the fresh yeast with a little of the measured liquid. Add the remaining liquid. If using dried yeast, sprinkle it with the sugar into a little of the measured liquid and leave in a warm place for 15 minutes until frothy. Add the remaining liquid.
3. Pour the yeast liquid on to the dry ingredients. Mix well to form a firm dough. Knead well for at least 10 minutes. Place in an oiled bowl and cover with a clean tea-towel. Leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4. Knead again for 5 minutes. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and then roll out to a round about 7.5 cm (3 inch) in diameter and 5 mm (1/4 inch) thick.
5. Place on a floured baking sheet, brush with milk and dust with flour. Leave to rise further in a warm place for 10 minutes.
6. Bake in the oven at 200°C (400°F) mark 6 for 20-25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Dust with more flour.
