Hey everyone…welcome again…let me give you a brief introduction of this recipe. If you are from Nigeria, you would know that a typical Nigerian bun doesn’t contain cocoa powder for a chocolate taste or with cinnamon spice. This beautiful bun recipe is with cocoa powder, cinnamon and with a little oil, a good way to spice up your buns game.
Another thing about this recipe is the low oil, naturally when frying a typical bun Nigerian bun, you tend to do a deep frying. In this case I made use of my non-sticky flat, added oil to the pan to just float around it then I used a low heat to begin, and as it progressed, I used a high heat to continue frying, all this to reduce the oil content though with a healthy one, fatty content is still necessary to be controlled.
This helps reduce the amount of fat used and gives your buns a puffy foamy look at the top and the bottom. This recipe gives you something different to present to your family for the festive periods or anytime for get together and parties… don’t worry it’s very easy and quite fast, before you know it you are done.
So, let’s get bake-cooking…lolzzzz…
