TREATS
Fall is here! And with the new season and holidays approaching, I am again trying to think of new, easy, kid-friendly treats we can make and ALL eat. (Remember that Spark has loads of food allergies, and dear dad has Celiac.) My little gal also had a friend coming to play today, and I was racking my brain on something fun to make for snack time! And then the heavens parted, and I remembered a childhood favorite that my mom would make – fried flour tortilla quarters covered in cinnamon and sugar… and thankfully Spark and Sam can eat corn tortillas! I threw in some cookie cutters and now we have a fun new treat we all can enjoy.
To make, all you need is:
> flour tortillas (I love how the flour tortillas puff into 3D when fried), or corn if you’re allergic/intolorant (they’re flatter and crisper, like a chip – but still yummy!)
> oil for frying
> cinnamon and sugar
> cookie cutters
Use the cookie cutters to cut out tortilla shapes (the younger ones needed a little help cutting all the way through).
In a pot or dutch oven, fry the shapes on both sides. (I fried the corn tortillas before the flour, just to be allergy safe.)
Using tongs, remove and place on a paper towel covered plate, then immediately coat with cinnamon and sugar.
And devour!!! (bwah-ha-ha!)
And if you’re a grown up, brew some magic bean with these tasties and your already fantastic fall day just got even better ;)
