Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups Warm water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Mix well using a whisk or fork to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 2

Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the warm water to the mixture while stirring with a fork or your hands, just until the dough begins to come together. The goal is to achieve a soft and pliable dough that isn't too sticky or dry.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 2-3 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Cover the dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for about 15 minutes. This resting period helps the dough relax and makes it easier to roll out.

Step 6

Divide the dough into eight equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Keep the dough balls covered until you're ready to roll them out.

Step 7

Using a rolling pin, roll each dough ball into a thin circle, about 8 inches in diameter. Flour the surface as needed to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place a tortilla in the pan and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until light brown spots appear.

Step 9

Remove the cooked tortilla and keep it warm in a clean kitchen towel. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining tortillas.

Step 10

Serve the tortillas warm for homemade tacos or store them in an airtight container for up to two days.
