I made this growing up as a child and this is one of my favorite Jamaican food we eat it for breakfast I tweaked it with adding a half milk half water because it's originally made with water add a little salt fish or salmon cake and it's really really good

My mother is Jamaican. I grew up on these. The only differnce is I use milk as opposed to water, to bind the flour. Thanks for posting, you saved me from having to bug my mother for the recipe.

Family is Jamaican but I am a newbie to cooking the first time I need recipes to continue my adventures

This was really good. Though I added a tbsp of sage and one chopped up onion. I added the onion first with the flour because of the juice of the onion. Thank you so much
