0: Mix the maize meal, salt and white flour in a large bowl, add the lard or margarine and rub in until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs
1: Add the water and mix to a dough
2: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a short time until smooth
3: Shape the dough into 4 equal balls, roughly the size of a tennis ball, and let them rest for about an hour covered with a damp tea towel
4: Roll each ball out thinly on the floured surface to a circle about 25cm (10 inch) in diameter
5: Heat an ungreased griddle or large frying pan and fry the maize meal pancakes over a fairly high heat, turning them over so they are lightly brown on each side
