The perfect snack for a cold, winter’s day – try this easy recipe for tortilla snowflakes!
Easy recipe for tortilla snowflakes
This article is one of our easy Christmas recipes for children and part of our Christmas activities and crafts for children.
This snowflake snack is very easy to make. If you can make paper snowflakes, then you can make these too.
Materials needed:
:: flour tortillas
:: ground cinnamon
:: sugar
:: scissors
:: baking sheet
Fold a flour tortilla in half, and then fold the semi-circle into three.
Use clean scissors to cut out sections of the tortilla, just as you would if you were making a paper snowflake.
Take care not to cut all the way through the folded edges or your snowflake will fall to pieces.
Unfold the tortilla and lay it flat on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle the snowflake with sugar and cinnamon.
Place the baking tray with the snowflake on under the grill for a minute or two. Keep an eye on it as they cook very quickly.
As soon as they are crisp, and the sugar begins to caramelise, take them out. Let them cool just a little and then enjoy!
They’re very nice with hot chocolate and just what you need to warm you up after playing outdoors in the snow.
Everything you need for a winter unit, all in one place.

This is a fantastic idea! I think we will have some for snack today. Another way to cook the tortilla would be to fry it first in oil. Then dip both sides in cinnamon sugar.
Please link this post to my Christmas Traditions link up in the Recipe section! It starts today!
Love this! Great idea!
