Baking powder

1 tsp

Table salt

1 tsp

Water

Set medium skillet over medium heat and heat until drop of water sizzles in it. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 1 piece of dough and cook until speckled and slightly puffed, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Transfer tortilla to plate lined with clean kitchen towel; fold towel over to keep tortilla warm. Cook remaining dough to make total of 12 tortillas, stacking them under the towel as they are cooked.
