This is a classic Belizean fried dough that's served in every meal from breakfast through to dinner. It can also be served as a sweet dish with golden syrup.
Ingredients:
700g plain flour, sifted
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp butter
up to 350ml water
salt, to taste
oil or butter for frying
Method:
Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Add the butter and rub in with your fingers then gradually add the water until the mixture comes together as a fairly soft (but not sticky) dough. Turn this onto a lightly-floured surface and knead lightly until smooth and elastic.
Tear off pieces of the dough and shape into balls about 3cm in diameter then roll flat, fold over and shape into rough triangles.
Heat oil or butter in a pan and use to fry the dough triangles until golden brown and puffed up (about 4 minutes per side). Serve as an accompaniment to savoury dishes or serve as a snack or dessert, drizzled with golden syrup (corn syrup).
