Directions

1In a large bowl, add all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.
2Whisk all the dry ingredients together until well combined.
3Heat up one cup of water.
4Melt one stick of unsalted butter into the heated water.
5Slowly add the water and butter mixture to the flour.
6Mix until the mixture becomes crumbly like wet sand.
7Add the rest of the water.
8Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it looks smooth and doesn't stick to the bowl anymore.
9Leave the dough in the bowl, cover it with damp paper towels, and let it rest for about 10 to 15 minutes.
10Lightly flour a flat surface and place your ball of dough.
11Cut the dough ball into even pieces.
12Form your dough pieces into balls with a smooth top by tucking the dough to the bottom.
13Keep the dough balls covered with a damp paper towel.
14Roll out each dough ball into a tortilla, rotating it to roll all sides evenly.
15If edges get funky, use your hands to stretch them out.
16Head over to your preheated comal, keeping it on medium heat.
17Lay your tortilla down on the comal.
18Once bubbles start forming, flip it.
19When that side starts to puff up, flip it one more time so it inflates all the way.
20Remove the tortilla from the comal once cooked.
21Make yourself a butter and salt tortilla.
