If Cikyah Can Cook, So Can You

Hunny Bunny

Hi all! It’s me again. Today’s entry is not related to any bunny at all. It’s about my Raisin and Date Buns. The recipe was given to me by a colleague at school. A simple recipe with a filling outcome. Since my mixer is still under repair, I had to knead it using my hands. It’s kind of tiring but it’s worth the effort when you taste the fluffy texture. I brought some to the recipe owner and felt very glad when she told me that she enjoyed it.
