St Lucia Hot Bakes

These are little fried flat breads. The dough is similar to a biscuit, but they are pan-fried.

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 1  lb all-purpose flour
• 2  tablespoons sugar
• 4  tablespoons baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1  tablespoon butter
• 1⁄4 cup milk
•  water
•  oil (for frying)

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, butter and salt.
2. Stir in milk and enough water to make a soft dough that is almost sticky to the touch; if it does become to sticky, you can knead it with a little flour to make it easier to handle.
3. Once the dough is mixed, cover it and let it rest for at least half an hour.
4. Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat; add oil and heat that.
5. Divide the dough into small balls, then flatten them to about 1/2-inch thick.
6. Place dough in hot oil and cook until golden brown; turn over and cook the other side until medium brown.
7. Repeat with remaining dough.
