Tortilla Snowflakes

 

6 flour tortillas

Canola or vegetable oil for baking

Confectioners' sugar

Edible glitter (optional)

How to make itHeat the oven to 400 degrees.

Warm the tortillas (about 15 seconds)

 in the microwave.

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).

 Using clean scissors, cut triangle,

circles, or squares out of the edges,

as if you were making paper snowflakes.

 Unfold the tortillas.Lightly brush the

 tops of the snowflakes with canola

or vegetable oil and place them

on a cookie sheet slightly apart.

Bake them until lightly browned and crisp

(about 4 minutes). Sift confectioners' sugar

 on the snowflakes while warm.

For an extrasparkly effect,

 you can sprinkle on a bit of edible

glitter. Makes 6.
