I have been sitting here trying to figure out an introduction and I got nothing. Finally, I just decided to let you know I am struggling with this introduction. The recipe I am sharing today was much easier for me to come up with.
I made cookies with hupfu hwezviyo (finger millet ). They pack so much flavour, which is what I love about zviyo. While Leo will not eat sadza rezviyo he ate the cookies.
I don’t bake a lot of desserts because there is only three of us here and if I can not get to share them we have to eat them because I really don’t want to throw out food. Fortunately, I got to share the cookies with friends and they loved them. I am sure you will love them too.
Thanks to Heavenly Delights for providing hupfu hwezviyo for this recipe.
