how to make Christmas Eve Cinnamon Crisps
Ingredients:
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of ground nutmeg (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to stop the crisps from sticking.
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until the ingredients are well blended.
- Brush both sides of each tortilla with the melted butter. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over both sides until they are well coated.
- Slice the tortillas into triangles, strips, or any festive shape you like. Arrange the pieces in a single layer on the lined baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap.
- Bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crisps are golden brown and crispy. Rotate the pan halfway through baking to ensure they cook evenly.
- Remove the crisps from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. This step is important for getting them extra crispy.
