Okay, a little confession=:) I don't really bake...it's just not my cup of tea. Too scientific and precise for me. If you mess up that's it for you, unlike cooking you can add and modifiy. But, i take on the challenge from time to time, especially if i like a recipe that calls for baking. So...this week i had the craving for ensaymada. Yes, i can buy some ensaymada but expensive , buying a few will not satisfy my craving. HHHmmm what to do? I went through my recipe box and got my ensaymada recipe w/c i have made by the way, a long time ago. Went to work and hoped that it'll come out as good as i remembered the last time i made some. It did, but this time i made it smaller so it'll last a looonnnggg time=:) and savor my ensaymada.
Oh, by the way for those readers who has no idea what an ensaymada is....it's a Filipino version of brioche or perhaps croissant (French sweet bread). Correct me if i'm wrong or pls. let me know.
***The red dots in the picture means that ensaymada has no filling. My daughter likes hers plain.=:)
