  7. Taking one piece of chicken at a time, making sure it is well coated in buttermilk, place it in the flour bowl and cover it completely. Lift out of the bowl and shake off the excess flour. 
  8. Your oil should be heated to 350- 375F. Carefully place it in the pot.

  12. Once all the excess oil has been soaked up by the paper towel serve up your very crispy, very juicy, very flavourful chicken.

Banoffee Bread

Banoffee Bread

             Ingredients                                                            Yield: 1 Loaf
  • 300ml (1 Can)         Sweetened                                                Condensed Milk
  • 2                             Overripe Bananas
  • 2                             Whole Eggs
  • 220g (1 3/4 Cups)   Flour
  • 1g (1/4 Tsp)            Baking Soda
  • 10g (2 Tsp)              Baking Powder
  • 60g (1/3 Cups)        Sugar
  • 75g (1/3c Cups)      Butter
  • 175g (1 Cup)           Chocolate Chips


            Instructions
  1. Place an unopened can of sweetened condensed milk in a pot of boiling water. Make sure the can is completely submerged at all times. Let it boil for 3 hours. Once it has finished becoming our toffee, let the can cool for 15-20 minutes. If you open it right away, the contents will explode and make a huge mess!
  2. Mash up the 2 bananas and add the eggs to them. 
  3. Continue whisking while you add in the melted butter. Set to the side.
  4. In a separate bowl, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sugar. Give it a quick mix. 
  5. Pour the banana mixture into the middle of the flour in the bowl. Add the chocolate chips and mix just enough. Make sure you don't over mix the batter. 
  6. Add in the toffee, and fold it in. You do not want the toffee to absorb into the batter. Leave it rather soupy looking.
  7. Pour into a lined and greased loaf pan. 
  8. Bake in a 350F oven for 40-50 minutes. Or until it is golden brown.
  9. Let the loaf cool, then remove it from the pan. 
  10. Once you slice into the loaf you should see ribbons of chocolate and toffee.
  11. Enjoy, because this recipe is truly delicious!
