F Is for Fancy Flakes

Fancy Flakes

Here’s what you’ll need to make two fancy flakes:

• 2 large flour tortillas
• Food decorator pen
• Safety scissors
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• Cinnamon and sugar mixture

Directions:

1. Soften the two tortillas by wrapping them in a paper towel and heating in microwave for about 15 seconds.
2. Fold soft tortillas in half and in half again.
3. With food decorator pen, draw small triangles along each folded edge and the outer edge of the tortillas.
4. Allow your child to cut out the drawn shapes. (Cut on the outside edge of the lines to remove all pen markings.)
5. Unfold tortillas and lay flat on baking pan or cookie sheet. Also lay out the cut-out tortilla pieces to make some cinnamon chips.
6. Brush tortillas and tortilla pieces with melted butter.
7. Sprinkle tortillas and tortilla pieces with cinnamon and sugar mixture.
8. Bake tortillas at 350° for 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Variation:

• Instead of using a food decorating pen, etch cutting lines with the tip of a knife or toothpick.
