BANANA 'PURSES'
September 22, 2016A great, simple and kid-friendly dessert or teatime snack: Delicate and flaky 'purses' that hold a sweet surprise of cinnamon-scented banana :D These bundles are quite easy to put together and if you are a Nutella fan, you could also add some in together with the banana. Some people swear that banana + Nutella is one of the two great combinations in all of food history! :P
