My Strawberry Cream Cheese Breakfast Plait Recipe
On Saturday mornings, Isabel and I like to get the mixer out and bake away. This recipe is so simple, so quick, so easy AND great for doing with kids. It is a definite crowd pleaser and delicious with some warm coffee. I hope you enjoy!
I have a video here if you are more of a visual learner.
