So I am a Puerto Rican and my husband is from Trinidad. Every time I make this he gets taken back home. Thank you for this delicious treat😋❤️
I see crumbs on your lips. Must be good can't wait to try it. Thank you for sharing
Hi Chris, thanks for the info for your currants rolls, one of my favorites pastry over the years, my Trini friend used to bring a whole bag every Tuesday around lunch time and I can tell you how much my co- workers enjoyed it. Thank you.
Grenada's tuned in, a pleasant Good Night to my Trinidadian brothers and sisters, I must say this is one of the best recipe I've ever seen and the rolls look very tasty. I haven't made Currant Rolls in a while and so I ended up here, didn't regret it at all.
You should be on TV for sure,you have the perfect personality!
Caribbean pot. I love the way you prepare your currents roll you are the best.👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥💯💯 💯
My husband is from there and never could make it right thank you for this video.
If only you know how much my mouth watering. Can't wait to try it!
Hi Chris. I can't leave this one alone! Thank you.
I wish you were my brother, I love all your dishes.
It was fun fun watching this friendly video. Thank you and am going to try this ASAP!
I love your recipes..I'm a big fan
my mouth is salivating right now....I LOVE currant roll, must make! Thanks
I wish someone would give you a show on the food network. I'm tired of them making Americanized "Caribbean" dishes. We need a real West Indian to represent us. But anyway, thanks for your recipes
They take the recipes from him, and include it in their own show, then reap the benefits...
This is my favorite food channel.
I LOVE THIS MUST HAVE WHEN I GO TO A BAKERY ALWAYS

Hi Chris.. I am.first time subscribing. Thank you for sharing your recipes, because of you my baby has been experimenting with new and exciting recipes. Valentines day he made his first current roll. His dinner presentation was surprisingly great, and dessert of current rolls was delicious. This was a man who couldn't boil water. He is originally from Trinidad. June-July we visited Trinidad; my first visit had a good time. Went to Maracas Beach....love the bake and shark.
love ur recipes...u make cooking so easy
Chris! OMG, currants roll is my favorte dessert in the world! Thanks for the receipe, I will definitely try it.
That flaky crunchiness is why I assumed it would go well with some gooey cheese, pepperoni and marinara sauce on the side
Hello chris, i want to make some currants rolls. just turned into your video for the recipe. Thank you.
So is it 350(three five zero) LOL or 375 degrees cause ya kept saying both 😁

That's a good job of making cinamon roll. Currants roll dough is made different.

Trini well done why can you used puff pastries or this eff wash tet water an great

Did you place the dough in the freezer or on the rack of the fridge?
I don't live in NYC anymore so i don't get currants rolls so I'll have to try this

i want to know you can make coconut roll?
can i substitute the currants for raisins?
this is awesome
can you please put up a recipe for coconut tart (plate tart made with the fresh coconut grated). I especially need to know how to make the dough so it's not hard.
thank you
Hi Chris how would you prepare the coconut if you are doing it with that instead .
Can you substitute melted butter and milk instead of eggs and milk ? Also do you know how to make coconut turnovers that they make in Barbados? Is it similar to your currant rolls only substituting coconut. If that is not the case can you make them please. Thanks
Can I use white sugar as well?
Chris you said 350 then 375 then 350 then 375 again! Whata Gwan boy!?
Currants roll coming up in an hour in my home.
Can I use a blender to get the butter and flour to mix?
Hey Chris,
Sorry what are currants? Are they in North America or could you give an equivalent.
Thanks
Can you use puffs pastry dough to make currents roll?
Hey Chris, I made the roti, the taste was awesome however it did not rise while cooking
Was the oven on 350 or 375?
Chris what can I do in place of the egg wash eight b4 baking? I was with this recipe 100% til then help meh nah. :)

Cameron Baldeo pls.keep sending me these recepitesthank u
Can you make doubles?

What temperature was it baked at exactly? 350 or 375?
hi I made your currants roll and it was wicked
Hi Chris I love your recipe without puff pastry I will surely try it I like the one that is not with puff pastry, thanks again. I have your book but didn't remember seeing g current roll in it.
What can I use to replace the shortening ?
What's vegetable shortning? ...is it called "Lard" in the UK?
No but you can use lard, wow they don't have vegetable shortening in the UK! It's simply Crisco, I thought that was everywhere!
It's lard
EDRPOS
Well it's not Lard, but you can use Lard!
lard is from animals this is not
Good recipe Chris tried it and it tasted great and the pastry was very flaky. You have to be very gentle when cutting it up.
I've never had currents.is it simular to raisins?oh,you got a pastry flake on your top lip😄
Not a big fan of currants roll.....but wow, surely looks very nice...
I dont have a food processor so is there another way to make them?????????????
Use a pastry tool, or just rub together with your fingers
Trinidad
love i
The greneda currant roll debate brought me here. The secrets is butter
why didn't you use fish broth?
i would like to win the cookbook
Can you PlzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZ do coconut rolls? !!!!!!!!!
im mean like a cake mixer
if I try this recipe then I may stop buying from Hi Lo in store bakery! love currants rolls alot! lol.
Lol
can I use store bought flaky pastry?
Ummm Self rising flour and all purpose flour are two totally different types of flour bro. Thanks...my first attempt at this is totally flawed having used the WRONG flour.
He use to post accurate recipes BUT as of now HE HAS NOT BEEN. His first recipe, some years ago, for green seasoning was spot on, a year or two later when I Iooked him up on youtube - he changed the ingredients. Good thing I wrote the ingredients down the first time!!!
Talk with yuh trini dialect man, it does sound better, especially when yuh running some trini recipes :-) Them currants roll looking so good, I feel to try it out now!
trini I love his mix accent! And u can tell he’s not even trying hard.
Agree most cannot speak or ashame of de dilect but its ok
Self raising flour is, flour that has a leavening agent - baking powder - and salt added to it during packaging. Plain flour is just plain flour... Hope this helps :D You do great cooking ,thank you for sharing !
Hi Chris,
Love the recipe!! How can I make the coconut roll?? This looks similar to the coconut rolls I used to buy in Bklyn on Utica avenue.
Next time dont go Utica. Go on Nostrand. Golden Palace way better
the three would make for a good combination. let me know the results. Aloha!
Did you say 15 or 50 minutes . I'm not sure what I heard?
50 minutes :)
Could never be 50 mins.. would be burnt by then (:
Growing up in the islands (St.Kitts) my Auntie used to make these all the time like a boss, they are called Rasin Rolls. She also always had Rasin's soaking in Rum for cake making goodness and would sometime make Rasin Rolls with Rum soaked Rasins.... Mercy! And i just couldn't get enough of this guilty pleasure pastry good eat. You just couldn't eat one, you had to eat another and another. Her Rasin rolls were always flaky crust and always had them in a brown paperbag to carry around all sliced up the roll. Rasin Rolls were da bomb!
Ardent Dfender in Barbados they are called current slices
Sounds amazing with the rum!
no a food processor. you can easily do this by hand though. Just try to be quick as you don't want the butter to get warm.
350 degrees or 375?
I corrected (see text annotation) myself a couple times. it's 350.
I use to make your hops bread but I'm on keto for health reasons but my currants rolls are in the oven as I'm texting thanks Chris God bless
I'll try to get to it soon.
Just watched your Pilau recipe and now this one, two of my favorites from growing up. You're making me homesick boy!
Thanks so much the recipe!
I am confused that you said 350° and you also said 375° oven so which is it?
My currant rolls came out bomb diggidy Chris. Thanks so much for this recipe. You are a boss!
I was just wondering, I hate working with dough, can I use puffs pastry to make it?
Yes you can. I don't like to use the flour dough as well and puff pastry works just fine for me.
Hi Chris, I have been following you for a couple of years and out of all the other bloggers/vloggers, I like your recipes best. People can't believe a Yankee can cook this way! I give you all the credit. Thank you!
um AP flur is just flour, wheras self rising flour has stuff added to it....(salt and baking powder i think...)
7.46pm
Chris can you please clarify the temperature of oven. Not clear as to whether it should be 350, or 375? Thk you.
YAAAAAAY...thank you thank you*** Chris did you say 15 min or 50 min?
Its too flaky and crunchy for a sub, and we always use raisins and sultanas as well...
