Cart wheels

mcfez - 10-26-2010 at 12:02 PM

A buddy of mine that lives in SF went fishing with me. As we camped out...he proceeded to heat up a pan of oil. In went these cart wheels. Popped up and then served as a snack. Extremely light weight, fluffy...crunchy. A Mexican snack that can be bought a the stores. Any one here knows what they are made of?

Those things are served at every local party we attend----not sure I want to know from what they are made. I might have to quit eating them. :yes:

They are made of flour. My kids love them with lemon juice and Valentina salsa.

Relax, Viking - it's just a low calorie (in it's original form) pellet snack!

Glad to know they're made of flour, whew!
