Mexican(?) Squash pan tortlette dessert invention, 10/24/18

Two corn tortillas stacked and cut in half
Thin sliced pats of butter
Sprinkled w salt and sugar
Spread with canned squash, (maybe 2T each half?)
Thin slices butter over the squash
Sprinkling of salt
Liberal sprinkling of sugar
Sprinkling (liberal) of cinnamon powder over all.

Place in the cast iron fry pan that has been preheating on the stovetop. Cover and cook on the stovetop til it is bubbling, melting over the edges, caramelizing, and browned underneath, (hopefully not burned).

Next time I might try a bit of flour in the squash to gelatinize it more. This was good. I stopped to draw up the design paper to help the pic, so this is not just off the heat. Looks different cooled than hot.

Only calling it 'Mexican' because of the tortillas.
