In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well.

Add the butter and work it into the flour with your hands until the mixture has small lumps of butter. Gradually add the warm water, kneading until the dough no longer sticks to your fingers.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes. Divide the dough into balls, flatten each ball, and place it on a hot griddle or skillet. Press it down a little and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

Slice each gordita in half horizontally with a knife to create a pocket.
