Directions
1
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and mix with your hands.
2
Melt the butter in the water in a microwave-safe container.
3
Slowly incorporate the warm water and melted butter mixture into the flour, adding it little by little.
4
Knead the dough by hand for approximately 7 minutes until it no longer sticks to your hands or the bowl.
5
Cover the dough and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes.
6
Divide the dough and form into balls, creating tension by rolling it under itself.
7
Cover the dough balls with plastic wrap and let them rest for 45 minutes.
8
Flour your surface and rolling pin, then roll the dough balls out into thin circles.
9
Place the rolled tortilla on a medium-high skillet and wait for little puffy bubbles to form.
10
Flip the tortilla and let it cook for about 10 seconds until it starts to inflate, then flip again.
Ingredients
3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 cup water
1 stick butter

Tips
Let the dough rest the second time for a good 45 minutes for easier rolling.
Rotate your rolling pin instead of picking up the tortilla to rotate it.
The goal is for the inside of the tortilla to be steaming during cooking.
