Directions
- 1In a large bowl, add 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons of salt, and ½ teaspoon of baking powder. Whisk all dry ingredients together until well combined.
- 2Heat up 1 cup of water and melt in 1 stick of unsalted butter.
- 3Slowly add the water-butter mixture to the flour, mixing until it becomes crumbly like wet sand. Add the rest of your water and continue mixing until a dough forms. Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and not sticking to the bowl.
- 4Leave the dough in the bowl, cover with damp paper towels, and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
- 5Lightly flour a flat surface, place your ball of dough, and cut it into 8 equal pieces.
- 6Form each piece into a ball, tucking the dough to the bottom until the top looks smooth.
- 7Cover the dough balls with damp paper towels to prevent a crust from forming.
- 8Roll out each dough ball into a thin circle, rotating the tortilla to roll all sides evenly. Use your hands to stretch out funky edges if needed.
- 9Place the tortilla on a preheated, hot comal or griddle (medium heat).
- 10Flip the tortilla once bubbles start forming and again when the second side starts to puff up. Use a spatula to press and help it puff up.
