Preparing Christmas Eve Cinnamon Crisps
Making your own Christmas Eve Cinnamon Crisps is surprisingly simple! Here’s a step-by-step overview to guide you through the process:
- Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
- Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl—this will be the soul of your crisps!
- Brush melted butter onto one side of each tortilla, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mix generously.
- Position the tortillas on a baking sheet, ensuring the cinnamon-coated side faces up.
- Bake everything for about 10-12 minutes; you’re looking for a golden, crispy texture.
- Cool them down briefly, then break into pieces and enjoy the festive crunch!
What you’ll need
Here’s a quick rundown of the ingredients you’ll require to create these holiday crisps:
- 6 large flour tortillas (or you can opt for puff pastry sheets for a flakier result)
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
You can also easily substitute with whole wheat tortillas or even a sugar alternative if you’re looking for a healthier option.
