Snack and Story Time: Sweet Tortilla Snowflakes

on


By Trine Grillo

Few things are as much fun as catching snowflakes on your tongue. You lift your face to the snowy sky and stick out your tongue as far as you can. Some of the flakes land in your nose and ears, but when you catch one - AHH!  So what do these little miracles of nature taste like? And if you could capture them, what would you do with them?


Here is a sweet story and a delicious snowflake snack to try. And then if you are lucky enough to have snow where you live, get out there and catch some flakes! 


READ: If Snowflakes Tasted Like Fruitcake by Stacy Previn


DISCUSS: 

Have you tasted a snowflake?

What did it taste like?

If you have never tasted a snowflake, what do you think it would taste like?

Sweet Tortilla Snowflakes


Ingredients:

Flour tortillas

Melted butter

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Fold the tortillas in half and then in half again.

Brush with melted butter and shake on the sugar sprinkles or cinnamon sugar.
Bake 10-15 minutes until golden brown along the edges.
Cool and eat up!
