Old School Belizean Breakfast (I'm Speaking in Creole)

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Coconut oil adds flavor while being a healthier fat.

butter

🥗Healthier: margarine

💰Cheaper: shortening

Margarine can reduce saturated fat content.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories and can be used for a lighter dough.

Mix 1 cup of flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder in a bowl until combined.

Add 4 oz of milk gradually, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough until smooth, avoiding adding butter to prevent it from becoming too stiff.

Roll out the dough as flat as possible and cut it into pieces.

Heat 2 cups of canola oil in a skillet until hot.

Fry each piece until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm, optionally with butter.
