"Spooky" Cinnamon Sugar Flour Tortilla Crisps is the original recipe title. I know it's the middle of August, but I liked the idea of the Halloween theme and I do have a bat cookie cutter, so I went with it. It was happiness. I did follow the recipe exactly. Well, OK sorta. We're a big cinnamon sugar family, so we already had some mixed up. I have no idea about her measurements as we never measure, but I will say that a little cinnamon goes a long way. Something that my dad forgets and I have to fix it for him, so then we have cinnamon sugar out the woozah. Obviously I see that she's used less cinnamon than sugar, but I have no idea if that's a huge, whopping cinnamon taste or not. See I just go by the look of it and once the mixture looks right, I taste it. You don't want it too white (too much sugar) or too dusty red (too much cinnamon). So you can follow her measurements or try my way. Which ever. However the amount of butter was spot on for 2 tortillas worth of bats and all the scraps, because what would be the point in wasting the scraps, right? But again, I don't know if it would be enough cinnamon sugar, because I just have a shaker full of it, and just shook it on the buttered tortilla pieces once they were on the baking sheet. Any excess butter melted onto the aluminum foil and mixed with the cinnamon sugar that was sprinkled about (but wasn't necessarily on the tortilla's). That stuff was good. We ate it too. It would actually be good sprinkled on vanilla ice cream. It wasn't a lot, so we weren't just eating mounds of butter baked cinnamon sugar goodness, but I didn't chuck it with the used foil. These were easy to whip up, we always seem to have an abundant excess of various sized flour tortillas, and they were delicious. I preferred it to just cinnamon toast. Which is what we always make. Just lightly butter regular white bread, add cinnamon sugar mix to it, and bake it in the oven.
Also, kids. When the recipe calls for parchment, keep your wits about you and don't reach for the wax paper and cut a length. Luckily, as I laid it on the baking sheet I thought, "Wait a minute... this will melt... What is this...? What did it call for again...? Oh, stupid Sarah!" I laugh now, but if I hadn't of realized my mistake, we would have had a big ole mess in our over and lost our best baking tray. I know why I made the mistake. I usually keep parchment paper on hand for any baking things that call for it. My dad used it all up and replaced it with wax paper (which he can also use for freezing things). So, I just instinctively reached for what should have been there, but wasn't.
