So I am a Puerto Rican and my husband is from Trinidad. Every time I make this he gets taken back home. Thank you for this delicious treat😋❤️

[@roudiamondgh92]

I wish someone would give you a show on the food network. I'm tired of them making Americanized "Caribbean" dishes. We need a real West Indian to represent us. But anyway, thanks for your recipes

[@csmessiah3843]

They take the recipes from him, and include it in their own show, then reap the benefits...

Growing up in the islands (St.Kitts) my Auntie used to make these all the time like a boss, they are called Rasin Rolls. She also always had Rasin's soaking in Rum for cake making goodness and would sometime make Rasin Rolls with Rum soaked Rasins.... Mercy! And i just couldn't get enough of this guilty pleasure pastry good eat. You just couldn't eat one, you had to eat another and another. Her Rasin rolls were always flaky crust and always had them in a brown paperbag to carry around all sliced up the roll. Rasin Rolls were da bomb!
