Fun Friday

Texas Snowflakes
Here's directions for a yummy dessert that I made for my family Christmas night. I call them Texas snowflakes.



You will need:

clean scissors

flour tortillas ( The uncooked kind are the best. I have found these at Costco and Walmart.)

Oil for frying

Cinnamon & sugar mixture

powdered sugar

ice cream (optional)


Fold the tortilla into fourths. This works best if they are room temp. Then let the kids cut out triangles around the edge like they would for a paper snowflake. Unfold the tortilla and fry it in a frying pan with about an inch of hot cooking oil. *only the adults should do this part. the oil is very hot. Turn the tortilla once while frying. It will fry very quickly.


Remove the tortilla and place it on paper towels. Sprinkle it with cinnamon & sugar mixture and powdered sugar. We placed a dip of vanilla ice cream on ours. My daughter called it the snowball.
