  1. Add all purpose flour into a bowl.

  2. Add salt and baking powder to the flour.

  3. Mix with your clean hand.

  4. Crumble in the fat.

  5. Crumble the fat into the flour mixture until well combined and it feels like wet sand.

  6. Slowly pour in hot water, as hot as your hands can handle, making sure there are no dry spots.

  7. Mix the ingredients; the dough will feel sticky at first.

  8. Knead the dough until it is nice and smooth and no longer sticks to your hand.

  11. Roll each portion into a ball on the countertop until smooth.

  12. Place the dough balls over parchment paper or foil.

  13. Cover the dough balls with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel.

  14. Allow the dough to rest for at least 20 minutes.

  15. Dust a clean countertop with flour.

  16. Place a dough ball on the floured countertop and add a little more flour.

  17. Roll out the dough ball until it is nice and round, flipping and repeating the process.

  18. Place the shaped tortilla over a hot comal over medium heat.

  19. Allow the tortilla to blister.

  20. Flip the tortilla over and allow it to cook for 35 seconds or until it puffs.

  21. Remove the tortilla from the comal and place it in a kitchen towel.

  22. Repeat the process with the rest of the tortillas.
