Jamaican Fry Bread / Festivals image

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups flour, unbleached all-purpose
1/4 cup cornmeal
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons butter, unsalted, chilled
3/4 cup evaporated milk, or more as needed
2 cups peanut oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut in the butter, using two knives. Alternatively, mix the ingredients in a food processor fitted with a chopping blade. The mixture should feel crumbly, like sand. Add enough evaporated milk to obtain a stiff but pliable dough. Stir just to mix.2. Pinch off walnut-size pieces of dough and roll them between your palms to make long thin ropes. You should have about 24, each one about 10 inches long and 1/4 inch thick. Fold the ropes in half and twist them together.3. Place the oil in a deep-fat fryer or large, deep skillet. Heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.4. Gently and carefully lower the festivals into the oil and fry, turning with a slotted spoon, until golden brown, 2 to 40 minutes in all. Transfer the festivals to paper towels to drain and serve while still hot.Makes about 24 festivals serves 4 to 6

These festivals were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I'll try using more baking powder next time.

These festivals were a bit too fluffy for my taste. I think I'll try using less baking powder next time.

The festivals were a bit too crispy for my taste. I think I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

These festivals were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

These festivals were a bit more work than I expected, but they were worth it. They were absolutely delicious! I served them with ackee and saltfish, and it was the perfect meal.

I was a bit skeptical about making these festivals because I'm not a fan of fried food. But I'm so glad I tried them! They were light and airy, and the flavor was amazing. I'll definitely be making these again.

These festivals were delicious! I made them for my Jamaican friend and she said they were just like the ones her grandmother used to make. I'll definitely be adding this recipe to my regular rotation.

These Jamaican fry bread festivals were a hit at our Caribbean-themed party! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the hint of sweetness from the sugar was the perfect touch. I'll definitely be making these again.
