  • Thanks for watching my mom and I make Tongan Keke.
    I have been wanting to do this for a while so I finally was able to film it Father’s Day weekend.
    I mostly wanted to film this as a reminder to myself on how to make these.
    This will be one for the memory books.
    If you are from the Bay you mostly likely have had my mom bomb banana cakes with frosting
    If you have your own version from the Polynesian culture of this recipe. Share it!
    Ingredients:
    5 cups all purpose flour
    1 cup sugar
    3 teaspoons of baking powder
    2 packets of yeast (each packet constrains about 2 teaspoons)
    16fl oz of half and half and enough hot water to make the half and half warm
    Vegetable oil for frying
    **optional: 2 smashed up ripen bananas

    That hand gesture to getting the right form of keke isn’t so hard. It just takes countless times watching my Mum do it lols I’m glad I had the chance to learn these things that my Mother was taught in the islands. After her passing it was so difficult for me to get back in the kitchen making the delicious foods she use to make., but in the end I can proudly teach my Children how to make keke isite (using that hand technique lol) There’s no love like Our Mothers LOVE, ofa atu to all Mamas out here xo

    Now that’s how you make a Tongan keke isite if you don’t have the right hand technique for this than you ain’t doing it right only Tongan moms will know this type of technique tbh 😅 she reminds me of my moms keke isite miss it

    So let it rest for 15 mins? Can it be up to an hour or until the dough has risen? I can’t wait to try this recipe! My mother in law is tongan and makes them so good and perfectly round all of the time but im too lazy to drive to her house to learn lol.

    • @MamaVee17
      @MamaVee17  Рік тому

      The minimum rest time is 15 minutes. You can let it rest for an hour. It should almost double in size. Lol I get that , it took me years before I was interested in asking my mom.

    Hi, love the video and your mom’s too cute, and thank her for her recipe and showing us her hand technique..but I have a question, can you ask her why do my keke’s crack when I fry them? They aren’t as smooth as hers, is it my mixture? I think mine may be too watery, but I’ve made them 3 times and they all crack about 2 minutes in. Thanks again.

    • @MamaVee17
      @MamaVee17  2 роки тому

      Thank you for watching! And yes I will definitely ask about the crack, so if I’m understanding correctly, your Keke cracks in the oil? Does it still maintain somewhat a circle shape?

    I noticed you put 2 pkg of dried yeast and a couple tablespoons of baking powder. Is that necessary? Samoan pagikeke, we only used baking powder. Maybe we were doing it wrong the whole time. Just wanted to know.😊
