Hi Aunty Yochana,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the recipe! Can't wait to try them out on my own. I've been making bread since my lesson at your place few months ago. They turn out soft most of the time. I would not say pretty cos my shaping skills are so lousy. Most of the times the bread surface is rough. But my girl and hubby enjoy them. Once again, thanks a million for sharing.
Hi aunty,
ReplyDeleteDo we have to bake the pastry blind first before the filling? tnx :)
