Hot Bakes Recipe
Learn How To Make It Yourself

Hot bakes are really one of my favorite foods here in St Lucia. I enjoy making them myself but every now and then I go out to buy some because they are a very popular among the food vendors around the island.

You will find them at most events around the island. They are normally eaten with fried chicken and it is one of the most popular foods here in St Lucia.

I have tasted a few good ones, but not everyone makes them to my liking and satisfaction. If you need a quick breakfast, you can buy it along with cocoa tea and let me say that they make a wonderful combination.

You will find them in the Castries market when you visit there. Some people like them plain while others like them with cheese or salt fish. I am sure that you will find them readily available to you which ever way you like it.

If you love trying out new recipes, I will give you my recipe for it.

How to Make Hot Bakes
Pour flour into a large bowl add sugar, baking powder, butter and salt. Mix thoroughly and add milk and water. Kneed dough until it becomes a soft and almost sticky to the touch. If it becomes too sticky, add a little flour and knead the dough until you can touch it.

When you are done kneading the dough, cover it and allow it to rise for at least half an hour. Get a frying pan, allow it to get hot and then pour oil into it. Cut up dough into small balls and make flat about ½ inches thick.

Place it in your frying pan of hot oil on a medium heat until it has turned golden brown and turn over to the other side for same results.
