How to Make Tortas De Aceite Y Ans

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar (adjust to your preference), salt, and any desired herbs or spices.
Add the olive oil and the water gradually, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
Roll out the dough very thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) using a rolling pin. The thinner the dough, the crispier the wafers.
Using a sharp knife or pastry cutter, cut the dough into desired shapes (traditionally small squares or rounds).
Carefully transfer the cut wafers to the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the wafers are crisp. Keep a close eye on them as they bake quickly.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your homemade Tortas de Aceite y Ans!
