Hi

She really is!

[@WeezyD_NFT]

That was so satisfying when you rolled over that middle hump in the dough lol. It was like a cliffhanger scene in a movie.

[@jl8912]

My best friend is from Trinidad. The last time he had a currants roll was over 20 years ago when he left Trinidad. I made this for him last night and brought it over. With some of your Trini meat pie and some tamarind balls. I made dinner for him and his wife. She didn't have to cook and it brought him right back home to his Mother's kitchen. From my friend Luis and myself, thank you.

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Oh wow so nice of you. Thank you so much for trying the recipes.

[@jl8912]

I have to date used your recipe as for; meat pie, tamarind balls, currants roll, doubles and green seasoning. All have turned out exactly how they should taste according to my friend. I want to make a plater of dessert for him for Christmas. What do you recommend? Thanks

Butter is mixed with the dough. Not making roti

[@sarahramnarine27]

I love watching your videos! You honestly make it look so easy 😋 yummy I’m hungry now!

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Thank you 🙏

[@sanaakhan5460]

is it going into the refrigerator for two thirty minute sessions?

[@ambassadorsofmusicsecondar2643]

but y did toy put the butter after. normally it goes in to knead with the flour...

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

There are two ways add the butter with flour and this way which gives a flakier crust.

[@triciawillis927]

Natasha last weekend I tried making currants roll but after baking the crust was hard. I used 2lbs flour, 1lb butter and 1/2 shortening. The texture was good. The crust was fine like breadcrumb n I used ice cold-water to mix. I really don't know what went wrong. Trying to make this weekend. Thanks

[@62halee]

You're an awesome cook. You always add a new twist to the traditional methods. And with great success.

[@GMS222]

My Trini fiancé thanks you! I came back years later to make these again and they’re perfection!

[@trini2deeboneify]

Natasha your puff pastry is the bomb! I’ve made meat pies and your currants roll recipe. Turned out great! If I didn’t want to knead flour and use the store bought puff pastry dough...how many layers you suggest I use?

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Thank you one sheet may give you about 6 rolls. I've never used the store bought pastry before.

It's currant rolls

[@arianabeepath6640]

Great teacher I can’t wait to make it.. you made so easy to follow👏🏻

[@halfripejulie]

hello Natasha, I follow your channel and I am a big fan. I am in the midst of trying this recipe but I am a bit disappointed about something. I did just as you said with the butter. i flattened it out with a rolling pin and enclosed it inside the dough. However, the butter began oozing out through the dough as i rolled it out and it became just a hot greasy mess. Needless to say the dough could not have been used. I tried it again with my other half of butter and froze it before enclosing, so it came out a bit better but some oozing happened as well. so my dough, in the subsequent refrigerating and rolling became sticky because the butter is melting through out the dough once it is out o the fridge. My dough is definitely not smooth. I am now waiting on the last of the chilling to happen so that i could finally pop it in the oven. Not sure how it will come out.

Hi can u use mince chicke instead of currants and how do u do the filling

[@triciawillis927]

Can I use cake and Pastry flour to make the dough for currants roll. Secondly can i add baking powder to the flour. Thanks

Tricia Willis do not add baking powder to puff pastry dough , use All purpose flour I cannot say for sure how came flour would turn out.

Would have been nice if you provided a printable version.
