Hot scrolls right from the oven! I never thought those scrolls taste so yummy though because it was the first time baking. Trust me, you'll love it. The original recipe called for dates and pecans, then top with honey instead. I'll like it this way though and raisins is our favourites instead of dates. 
Texture was good. Very crispy outside and soft inside. We can have 3-4 in a go...YUM!My daughter said the shape looks like cinnamon rolls but taste better..haha! Okay I know that, I think she's trying to tell me she dosen't like cinnamon..;p
Have a nice week ahead! Cheers!

Hi Reese,
ReplyDeleteI have an award for you. Please collect it from my blog: http://passionbaker.blogspot.com/2011/04/one-lovely-blog-award.html
Weeee...thanks, Jane...:)
ReplyDeleteReese, it is very important to take time out from our kids to just spend time with each other. Just the two of you. You made another wonderful bake there. How about listening to you playing the piano while having a piece of the delicious looking scrolls with a cup of fragrant coffee? Perhaps this is one way to spend time together one weekend with your hubby?
ReplyDeleteHi Veron,
ReplyDeleteYeah, with just the 2 of us was great, but somehow I still miss my girl so much ...haha! Guess I have to do it more often..;p
Well about the piano, he dooesn't really know what I'm playing all the time, and said classical music bored him...haha!
