Homemade Flour Tortillas

Whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Mix in the butter with your fingers until the flour resembles cornmeal. Add the water and mix until the dough comes together. Place on a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes until smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.

Use a well-floured rolling pin to roll a dough ball into a thin and roundish tortilla. A lot of people cut then into perfect circles, but I prefer to keep them a bit on the rough side. Repeat this for each dough ball. Don't stack them completely on top of each other through this process as they may stick together. A good idea is is stagger the stacking. So, on your counter you can put one about 1/2 way over the other one and continue like this until they all rolled out and ready to cook.
