Chef's Corner 🎂

In this Issue of the Gardenview Gazette, we wanted to share some of our very own easy and delicious recipes! We have decided to share two very special recipes with you; one is a very simple, sweet caramelized bananas. The second is a recipe for Easter themed snicker-doodles (A.K.A. sugar cookies).

Making Caramelized Bananas:

Ingredients and their quantities:

2 T. of butter

2 bananas peeled and sliced as you wish

½ a cup of maple syrup

Instructions:

#1. Melt 2 tablespoons of of butter in a pan, on medium-high heat.

#2. When the butter has melted, add the maple syrup in the pan and mix with a spoon.

#3. Place the sliced bananas in the pan and wait till you see bubbles.

#4. Check the underside of the bananas, and when they are slightly golden, flip them.

#5. Do the same for the other side until all is golden.

#6. Transfer the bananas to a clean plate and drizzle the rest of the syrup over them.

#7. Wait until they cool down, because sugar takes longer to cool than water.

And #8. Enjoy the treat you have made.
