Directions

  1. 1In a large bowl, add three cups of all-purpose flour, one and a half teaspoons of salt, and half a teaspoon of baking powder. Whisk all the dry ingredients together.
  2. 2Heat up one cup of water and melt in one stick of unsalted butter.
  3. 3Slowly add the water-butter mixture to the flour; it should start getting crumbly. Add the rest of your water and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and not sticking to the bowl.
  4. 4Leave the dough in the bowl, cover with damp paper towels and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes.
  5. 5Lightly flour a flat surface and place the ball of dough. Cut it into even pieces and form them into balls with smooth tops.
  6. 6Keep the dough balls covered with damp paper towels to prevent a crust from forming.
  7. 7Roll out the dough balls into circles, rotating frequently for even thickness. If edges get funky, use your hands to stretch them out.
  8. 8Place the rolled-out tortillas onto a preheated hot comal on medium heat. Flip when bubbles start forming.
  9. 9Flip again when the second side starts to puff up. Use a spatula to help it puff up if needed.
  10. 10The tortillas are ready when they pass the crumble test (fold without cracking).
  11. 11Makes about 8 tortillas (or 12 smaller ones). Add butter and salt as desired.
