Just got back from Jamaica and had these for lunch (and breakfast and dinner lol) with a salad. Yummy! Very easy to make. Enjoy! Ingredients:
2 packets yeast (4 1/2 tsp.) |
1 tsp sugar |
1/4 cup warm water |
1 medium egg |
1 cup warm milk |
1 tsp salt |
3 1/2 cups white flour |
1/2 cup melted butter |
Directions:
1. Mix the yeast, sugar and water together. Beat the egg and stir in to the mixture. Stir in the milk and salt. Stir in 2 cups of the flour.
2. Slowly add more flour, stop when the mixture becomes stiff. Knead the dough until it is smooth about 10 minutes.
3. Transfer the dough to a clean buttered bowl. Roll the dough around the bowl until it is entirely coated in butter.
4. Cover with a damp towel for 1 hour. Divide the dough in to 10 pieces and roll each piece in to a circle, about 1/2 cm thick.
5. Brush the dough with melted butter then fold in half.
6. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place folded pieces on a well greased sheet and place on the bottom rack of the oven. Bake until golden brown (this should take around 15 minutes).
