baking powder

Baking powder is essential for leavening.

Add 3 cups of all-purpose flour into a bowl.

Mix in 1 teaspoon of salt with the flour.

Cut 4 ounces of cream cheese in half and mix in half with the flour until crumbly.

Add 1 cup of warm milk gradually, starting with half, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it feels less sticky and has a bit of elasticity.

Let the dough rest in the bowl for about 20 minutes.

Divide the dough into equal-sized rounds, using a kitchen scale if desired.

Lightly flour a cookie sheet and place the rounds on it, covering with a kitchen towel to prevent drying.

Heat a Comal or griddle over medium heat, testing with a splash of water to see if it sizzles.

Cook each tortilla for 10 to 15 seconds on the first side until bubbles form, then flip and cook for 25 to 30 seconds on the second side.

Press down with a spatula to form large bubbles, then remove from heat and keep warm in a kitchen towel.
