Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

Add the almond extract, warm water, and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture with a spoon or spatula until it forms a sticky dough.

Step 3

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions, shaping each into a ball. Cover the balls with a clean towel to prevent them from drying out.

Step 5

Preheat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Take one dough ball, and using a rolling pin, roll it out to a thin circle about 6 inches in diameter on a lightly floured surface.

Step 7

Place the rolled-out dough onto the preheated skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form and the bottom begins to brown.

Step 8

Flip the tortilla and cook for another 30-60 seconds on the other side until it has light golden spots.

Step 9

Remove the tortilla from the pan and place it under a clean towel to keep it warm. Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 10

Once all tortillas are cooked, serve them warm or store them in an airtight container for later use.
