As the ice coats the trees and streets, it's a perfect time to create a snowstorm in the kitchen with these yummy treats. We used to make them with our niece when she was young (she just graduated from K-State) but people of all ages seem to enjoy the process.
Tortilla Snowflakes
Flour tortillas - thin tortillas at room temperature work best
Vegetable oil or pan spray
Powdered sugar
1. Heat oven to 400°. Warm the tortillas (about 15 seconds) in the microwave if they are not at room temperature.
2. Individually fold the tortillas in half once and then in half again, so that you end up with a shape that resembles a wedge of pie (it will be thick).
3. Using the tips of cookie cutters or clean scissors, cut shapes out of the edges, as if you were making paper snowflakes. Unfold the tortillas.
4. Lightly brush the tops of the snowflakes with oil (or spray lightly w/ pan spray such as Pam®) and place them on a parchment lined cookie sheet slightly apart.
5. Bake them until lightly browned and crisp (about 4 to 7 minutes).
6. Sift powdered sugar on the snowflakes while warm.
