The Second Challenge for Eggless Baking Group is to Bake these Cute Looking Chocolate Cornets. First, i was a bit hesistant, Scared to try them out, reason being my Best Buddy Yeast, huhhh!!! Twice i was let down by this little monster, But when i saw other members of the group posting, i really wanted to try. This time, Voila!!!! yeast was so friendly, it listened to what i said!!! :)
After the First rise, when I saw the dough-test return positive (poke finger in the dough, if the gap closes pretty fast, then the dough needs some more time to rise) i was so happy, elated, Cloud 9!!! Enjoyed baking them and more than me my Kiddo enjoyed Gobbling them, had a tough time making him wait till i shoot some pictures.
