OMG this is it. I'm not talking about a fried flour tortillas with sugar & cinnamon on it.But yes you can still do that. But when it is taken out of the oil and drain. Then make a small opening in puff, add Butter and Honey! You will have M0M cooking this everyday This so easy it's good for a young teenager to start learning to cook!. Even for a afternoon snack. Keep left overs wrapped tight in plastic wrap. cut off some roll it out & fry. anytime your ready. Sorry but finding this recipe is like finding a Pot of GOLD. Thanks again
