Sweet Tortilla Snowflakes

I saw this beautiful idea in the magazine and I got so excited!  This is an easy, cheap and very cute way of serving up something different.  You can also include kids in making these snowflakes which means keeping them busy!

Some recipes that I found call for baking the tortillas, while others say you can deep fry them.  So it is really up to you.

So here is the recipe:

1. Use flour tortilla and fold it several times just as you would with paper

2. cut out the designs you want

3. unfold it and either place it on the baking sheet at 350F for about 10 min, till light brown and crispy or fry it in the oil.

It seems to me that if you fry it, the tortilla will have bubbles from oil so baking will make it look more appealing.

4. decorate with powdered sugar, icing or color sugar.  Use your imagination!
