  1. For bakes: Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together. Rub butter into flour mixture. Add water to flour and knead to form a stiff and smooth dough ball. Add flour as needed to bring the dough together.
  2. Pinch off golf ball -sized pieces of dough and roll in palms of hand to make smooth. Place in a greased plate. Cover with a damp paper towel. Allow to sit for one hour minimum.
  3. Heat oil for frying. Flour surface and roll each dough ball to ¼-1/8 inch thickness. Place dough in hot oil. Use spoon to pour oil over each piece of dough as this will help it puff up.
  4. Flip to other side. Fry until golden brown on both sides.
  5. For saltfish: Fill the pot with enough water to cover saltfish. Boil for 5-6 minutes. Drain and fill with clean water. Boil another 5-6 minutes. Drain and flake fish with a fork. Set aside.
  6. Heat frying pan with oil. Add onion, garlic, hot pepper, green pepper to pan. Cook until onions are translucent. Add saltfish and seasonings. Cook a couple of minutes then add chopped tomatoes. Let cook 5-6 minutes until tomatoes have melted into fish.
  7. Add tomato paste and scallions. Mix well. Adjust salt to taste.

Recipe below is for the more dense type of bake.

 

(makes 10-12 bakes)

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (substitute ½ cup whole wheat flour for a healthier option)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 6 tbsp vegetable shortening or cold butter
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup water

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together. Add shortening or butter. Cut in with a fork. Add water to knead dough. Add more or less water and flour as needed to bring the dough together. Roll into small dough balls and place on a greased plate. Cover with damp paper towel to avoid crust from forming. Let dough rest for one hour minimum.
  2. Heat enough oil for frying.
  3. Flour surface and roll each dough ball to ¼ inch thickness.
  4. Fry until bake is golden brown on each side. (Alicaspepperpot)
