Another tip! Use the spoon to throw the hot oil on the bake whie its frying and this makes it swells faster and evenly.❤❤

[@Metemgee]

Reza M Thanks for sharing. Usually that’s only necessary if the bakes don’t swell. It’s actually a little dangerous if you’re not a pro in the kitchen too. Increases chances of burns.

[@shevplay4]

You don’t have be I usually do that what he is saying you don’t have to be a pro.

[@victoriaedwards1847]

I do it all the time, I thought was me alone do it

[@imlissa]

[@sammysammy7666]

[@nikkip9754]

[@alvinb1986]

This recipe is so easy and so delicious!A must try for anyone (even if you’ve never had it.)

[@fuzzytuna2023]

I worked in Georgetown and McDoom for pritipaul Singh helping captains better their tuna fishing methods. My crew taught me how to make this it was first bread I had ever made and it was a success ( with some help cause they wanted to come out right). I wasn't used to the accent of the Guyanese yet so I thought they were saying"BIG instead of Bake 😂😂the boss set me straight. Anyway great experience eating the different fruits,fish and other dishes of Guyanese food. I never thought I would make bread in my lifetime but I'm glad I know now. Thanks for this video I got notebook with recipe wet so you refreshed my memory , now I can make for my crew of Filipinos here in Hawaii and introduce them to a new bread. I can't wait to enjoy this simple yet wonderful bread

[@leonredman9317]

Every year at thanksgiving I come back to your video recipe. As someone who did not pay attention to my mum she always made this. My family gets to enjoy this year after year and create great memories. Thanks for your content 🙏🏽

[@melawatiesadick9013]

I try most of your recipes and all came out really well, thank you so much for your teachings...god will always bless you....

[@22Skuly]

So, I just made these, and they came out beautiful. How simple and perfect. I did not roll them out or use a cookie cutter, because ain't nobody got time fe all ah dat when you hungry! Where i come from bakes are not supposed to be homogenous or perfect looking. I made the dough in less than a minute, in my Kitchenaid stand mixer, and formed them by hand. I got roughly the same amount you did. I stuffed them with codfish and took them to the head. Thanks for sharing, it will be come my goto bakes recipe. 😍😍

[@SuperSooSick]

Yo aint nobody got time for that foreal bout to do the same

[@angelwebster6054]

The best recipe ever! 😊

[@recordingstewdio4159]

I LOVE IT ALL....Fried Dumpling, Johnny Cake, Fried Bakes, Floats and a friend of mine from Africa says they have similar and call them Pancakes and also puff puff ...all with just about the same ingredients, flour, rising agent, fat, water, sugar, salt, sticky dough, deep fry. I LOVE the variations and equally the similarities with our countries/islands and people...what a wonderful thing 🥰🥰🥰 I might try this recipe, but I am pretty sure my friends are going to tell me it's fried dumpling and not fried bakes 😂😂😂

[@JohnThePA]

My mom is from Guyana and I love when she makes these

I made these and they came out perfect.Family loved it.Thanks for sharing.

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

I love your method. Very simple and quick. I actually started using the same cutout method recently. So much easier than rolling them out individually lol

[@mmunyindei8703]

True

[@deetuphill9623]

Matt after she cut them out, no rolling again.. just asking

[@hrh-PanF]

@@deetuphill9623 - just watch the video again if you miss any ting from wot she did.

Seems like it's going to be really sweet. I remember it to be just a hint of sweetness

[@patino4life986]

I like the sugar water idea. I normally just put the raw sugar in my flour mixture

[@Metemgee]

I was doing it with the raw sugar in the flour for years until my sister showed me this way. The texture was so much better.

[@Sthmohtwenty]

Never knew about d sugar wata'xx me wan always come out hard

I always friy one of theses babies at a time. I put a little yeast in my dough too. My mom is an expert. Thought me to use my hand and make those little round things with a rolling pin. Nice to know I can cut it too

Hi made your bake last night, came out beautiful. Do you know how to make shove Tuesday or ask Wednesday pancake?

[@joannasilva-qc4rl]

[@iamkasilein]

This looks amazing! Question: how long can you keep the dough? Like should i immidiately use it or can i leave it in the fridge overnight?

[@Metemgee]

You can leave in the fridge overnight.

[@Annieyogi]

I wish I had this recipe for Good Friday breakfast. Well I’m definitely going to try this method.

Tried this recipe and it came out lovely, I'd like for it to be a lot fluffier though. Has anyone ever tried doing half baking soda and half baking powder?

[@tamhart7]

Did this for breakfast with steamed callaloo and fried plantains... so good. I had to use some wheat flour since I ran out of white flour but it was still so good. When frying... I put my bake in and turn it when it swells and looks like its gonna burst... so good... first time trying. My kids and husband loves them and requests that I do them regularly

[@Metemgee]

Lovely. Thanks for sharing.

Can you make the dough and fry the next morning?

Can I easily double or triple the recipe or does that require different measurements when doing more ?

You’re supposed to take a spoons and throw some of the oil on the top while the bake is cooking.
