These Barquillos or Pirouettes were a treat that I enjoyed year round growing up in Colombia.

- 1 cup All-purpose flour minus 1 tablespoon
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch

Instructions
- Pre heat oven to 350°F with a rack in the center.

- Add the flour, cornstarch and salt and mix on low until you achieve a pancake batter consistency.
- Add a tablespoon of the batter to the prepared baking sheet and with the back of the spoon spread the batter in a circular motion to create a thin disk. Add to 3-4 disk at a time
