Banoffee Pie

Banoffee Pie is one of the easiest and quickest dessert i have ever made. It just took me 20 minutes maximum . This dessert had 4 layers starting from the crust , toffee , chopped banana , topped with whipped cream and garnished with Roasted Walnuts. Usually Crust is made of digestive biscuits but i made it with plain cornflakes . Trust me it tasted good.

Amazing Dinner Rolls

As the name states , it is Truly Amazing Dinner Rolls.You could eat it  with Butter , with a soup or as it is . Gayathri Kumar from Baking Egg less Group chose this recipe as a challenge for the month of March and it was suggested by Priya of Enveetu Kitchen . Bread making is an art . Making it is fun and trying it to substitute the ingredient (egg ) with some other ingredient is more fun and challenging.

 

As we are only two people at home , i cut down the recipe and  made quarter of the  recipe. I substituted egg with Banana . It turned out to spongy and tasty . Initially i thought the banana would dominate the taste of the dinner roll , actually speaking it did not. It was tasting good.
