About Bakes
Mayma shares bakes through memories of her mother and sisters in Dominica. Her milk-and-butter version uses bread flour and baking powder for the familiar fried rounds.
Sugar lightly sweetens the dough, while butter and milk provide richness beside the salt. Codfish bulljaw is the named optional companion linked by the author.
The bakes have a browned exterior and a rounded, flattened shape. The source presents them warm, with sides or fillings accompanying the fried bread.
