Question Cinnamon Pork Rinds

Karen, we have a great thread under Atkins about what's on our grocery lists. Very interesting!

It has led to Cinnamon pork rinds. I emailed the product supply mgr of Frito and he said so far, they only produce hot 'n spicy and regular.

I found a link on the net to a mail order site but wow, are they ever expensive for a little bag of pig skins!

Do you know if pork rinds are sold without salt, and can we just take them, put melted butter and cinnamon, and enjoy?

The other thread is going to turn into recipe ideas so thought I'd post here. One reader suggested something WONDERFUL...we could probably season them with many different flavorings... ummm how about parmesan, or nacho cheese?

Do you have any idease? Thanks so much.
Annie

I've made cinnamon pork rinds that had salt on them and they were fine. The salt balances the sweetness.

The two methods I've used were beating an egg white until completely frothy then tossing the pork rinds in with cinnamon and sweetener. They then have to be rebaked to dry them out. This method is not perfect because you have to get the ratio of egg white to pork rinds correct and a lot depends on the brand of pork rinds. Too much egg white and the rinds get soggy, then turn hard during baking. Too little and the cinnamon won't stick. Anyway, they will get a little harder during the baking no matter what and lose some of their puffiness.

The "instant" method is to melt butter, drizzle it over the rinds and toss with sweetener and cinnamon. You might want to use unsalted butter to keep them from getting too salty.

Default Thank you!

Thanks, Karen, for the tips! I appreciate it!

I wouldn't have considered unsalted butter had it not been your suggestion.

Would the microwave be a good partner in this? First to use it at 70 or 80% power to dry it, then bake?

Good day to you, Annie
