Bake
Also known as: Fried Bake
Puffed fried bread with a lightly sweetened butter dough.
About Bake
Alica shares fry bake through childhood memories of her Guyanese family. This small-batch version uses the traditional baking-powder leavening she describes.
White sugar gives the dough a mild sweetness, with butter adding richness and salt balancing the flavour. Corned mutton with potatoes is her named favourite filling, while peanut butter appears as another family serving option.
The fried bakes are round and golden, with a crisp exterior and pillowy centre. Their puffed form accommodates fillings or spreads at the table.
