Homemade Flour Tortillas

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.

Add the softened butter and use a fork to cut it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Pour in the lukewarm water and stir with a spatula until a sticky dough ball forms.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly until it comes together.

Divide the dough into 5 equal portions.

Roll each portion into a smooth ball, place them on the work surface, cover with a tea towel, and let rest for 30 minutes.

On a floured surface, roll each dough ball into a 12-inch round, or as thinly as possible.

Heat a dry skillet or comal over medium-high heat. Cook one tortilla at a time for about 30 seconds per side, until puffed and lightly browned in spots.

Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Stack the cooked tortillas on a plate.
