Flour Tortillas
Directions
- 1In a large bowl, add three cups of all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons of salt, and ½ a teaspoon of baking powder. Whisk all the dry ingredients together.
- 2Heat up one cup of water and melt in one stick of unsalted butter.
- 3Slowly add the water-butter mixture to the flour, until it starts getting crumbly.
- 4Add the rest of your water and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and it doesn't stick to the bowl anymore.
- 5Leave it in the bowl and cover with damp paper towels and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes.
- 6Lightly flour a flat surface and place your ball of dough. Cut the ball as evenly as you can and form your balls to have a smooth top.
- 7Keep them covered with a damp paper towel. This is important so that your dough doesn't form a crust.
- 8Roll out your tortillas, keeping rotating them so that you're rolling all sides evenly.
- 9If your tortilla starts to get funky edges, use your hands to stretch them out.
- 10Place your tortilla on a preheated comal and cook until bubbles start forming. Flip it and when that side starts to puff up, flip it one more time.
- 11Use a spatula to press down and help it puff up. Be careful, the air inside is super hot.
