    Amazing! I was born here but my folks are GT my older sisters were born back home. My mom passed when I was young so I remember eating all these thing but didn't learn to make them, and my sisters all married American men( who I love) but I married a Trinidadian. So your channel will help me teach my kids all that I thought was lost.
    Thank you for sharing.

    You said your uncle made your rolling pin? Did he make this special for you? Or does he also make them and sell them? That is a really nice Rolling pin. Please ask him if he also makes them to sell? If so how much? And how I can get one? Also this is the first time I have saw one of your videos. I think it is very good and informative you take your time and explain everything to include watching of the hands. 😊

    oh no gurl, yu farget the butta /margarine?, and a pinch of salt.
    Guyanese tend to cook with a lot of sugar and salt. But a whole cup is much but she said use how much you want.
    3 tablespoon sugar to a cup of flour I think would be okay
    Puffyness comes from rolling it not too thick and hot oil. Some people like it airy with nothing inside and some people like it with "guts", more doughy inside.
    Shes also just demonstrating. This is a breakfast food in Guyana/ or a very quick "no cook" meal in the evening not something you labour over...its not bread where you have to get it perfect...its more like making pancakes. You dont have to be too careful.
    Just dont work the dough too much...like any dough related item

Wow you have cooked perfect pooriesthey look yummy. Baking power suger is not necessary. Take whole wheat flour knead the dough into thick dough notsoft. But it should be well kneaded. Then with oil on your palm work on to knead it some more and till it is very soft but firm. Well Done.

    Suggestion: Add a little flour to your rolling pin before you roll out dough so it will not stick to Rolling Pin.

    Peanut oil is the best oil for frying. Health wise all the other are bad.

    Girl I was told to look for your black cake recipe, You don't have one, so I'm going to attempt my own version. Tell Uncle Tony I want one of those rolling pins and also tell him to get his finger out and start manufacturing them, he'll roll in it if he starts production. XXX Just checked out your web and found it. Yah.

    I am Guyanese but we never used that much sugar. We would use approximately 2 tablespoons or so and a pinch of salt. However, she did mention that if you do not like so much sugar you can use less.
