## Ingredients

- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup water
- 1 stick unsalted butter

## Instructions

1. In 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.
2. Heat up one cup of water and melt in one stick of unsalted butter.
3. Slowly add the water-butter mixture to the flour, until it starts getting crumbly.
4. Add the rest of your water and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and it doesn't stick to the bowl anymore.
5. Leave it in the bowl and cover with damp paper towels and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes.
6. Lightly 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.
7. Keep them covered with a damp paper towel. This is important so that your dough doesn't form a crust.
8. Roll out your tortillas, keeping rotating them so that you're rolling all sides evenly.
9. If your tortilla starts to get funky edges, use your hands to stretch them out.
10. Place 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.
11. Use a spatula to press down and help it puff up. Be careful, the air inside is super hot.
