Mix the dry ingredients

• Add the flour, salt and baking powder to a bowl.
• Whisk everything together until evenly combined.

Melt the butter with the water

• Melt the butter together with the water until warm.

Bring the dough together

• Pour the warm butter-water into the dry ingredients a little at a time, mixing between additions.
• Add the last of the liquid and mix until a very wet, moist dough forms.

Knead the dough

• Knead the dough until it forms a ball and no longer sticks to your hands.

Rest the dough

• Return the dough to the bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a towel to keep the moisture in.
• Let it rest.

Divide and shape the balls

• Flour your work surface.
• Cut the dough into 8 pieces with a bench scraper.
• Roll each piece into a tight ball on the counter.

Roll out the tortillas

• Roll each ball out with a rolling pin into as round a circle as you can.

Cook the tortillas

• Lay a tortilla on a very hot comal and flip it.
• Once air bubbles form and the other side puffs up, flip it again.
• Remove from the heat and keep the tortillas wrapped in a towel to stay soft.
