Since it has been raining so much I've been able to test out some Guyanese cooking. My favorite new food is called Bake. It is kind of like fried dough, but it tastes amazing! People eat it here with something called Salt Fish and it is delicious! I also found a local street vendor that makes potato or chicken filled bake which is definitely my favorite. I have to be careful not to eat too many or else I might start looking like one. :-)

| Making bakes! |
 |
| What they should look like when done |
Bake (Float)
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/3 cup sugar
4 tbsp butter
pinch of salt
about 1 cup water*
Mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together in a bowl. With a fork, or using your hand(quick method) rub butter into flour mixture. Add water to make a firm dough, but not stiff. Dough should be easy to roll. Let dough sit, covered for at least half an hour. Roll dough to about 1/2 inch in thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter. Heat about 3 inches of oil on a medium fire. Fry dough until golden brown, flipping once. Best when served hot.
