Description
Nutella sandwich curl buns . My daughter ANISHA had e- mailed me an collage of step by step picture of this bun . Looked so appealing to the eyes with excellence oozing out from every glimpse . then and there wanted to give a try but with no recipe in hand just had to save the picture .last morning , my daughter ANISHA started of saying she wants to try her hands in making these Nutella buns .( I feel so good about getting to name dishes :-)) ) I told her , with no recipe in hand how can we go ahead . then i remembered , A few days back I had made cater pillar chicken stuffed buns . The bun was really soft and moist . So decided to follow the bun recipe from the cater pillar buns . ANISHA started of by measuring the ingredients and sieving the flour . From there onwards she disappeared and I had to do the rest to finish the buns . But finally she went around saying I made these Nutella sandwich curl buns . The pleasure and liberty these kids have with us parents is so joyful to the heart and soul , no matter how old they grow . Hot Nutella sandwich curl buns out of the oven . I was surprised with the unpredictable , artistic out come of using a new simple technique by twisting and curling the sandwich strips which created magic . Served the buns warm and they were devoured in no time . Quite an elaborate and lengthy Recipe apt for a relaxed weekend cooking .
