BAJAN SWEET BREAD
Also known as coconut bread.This is a wonderful bread that all Bajans eat for breakfast and with " afternoon tea".
- 1 tbsp shortening
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 egg - beaten
- 1¼ cup evaporated milk
- 1 tsp almond essence
- Grease loaf pans with shortening and pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
Mix flour, baking powder,salt,coconut, sugar and the raisins together in a bowl. Add egg, evaporated milk, margarine and almond essence and mix together well until you have a firm dough.
Divide dough in half and fill loaf pans.
Mix 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of hot water and brush mixture over the loaves.
Bake in center of oven for about 1 hour or until skewer inserted into center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pans before removing and serving.
Niceness are you Bajan?
Anyway i remember sitting in the Bajan National Stadium watching the locals playing some team. There were guys walking amongst the stands selling ITs or Ices T. Cant recall the correct name. Do you know what im talking about or does anyone?
They tasted and looked like sweet bread i think. Could even be sweet bread. Wanna know the correct name.
  Yeah - yeah !!
no not sweet bread, its a savoury
they are I-tis (like rotis), sold mainly by "Rastas". they are the vegetarian version of rotis.
I think most of the other islands serve their rotis with the filling just heaped on the 'wrap' (am I right ---- anyone??) but the bajans actually wrap the filling up
the i-tis filling is usually seasoned mashed potatoes and lentils/ chick peas probably some other ground provisions, .... depends...
Rotis also available from Cheffette, Roti hut etc etc........
...Boy now i wanna go home......
btw its MAUBY.

Roll the goat meat in flour and brown it. Add salt. Then add the spices and stuff.
Add the grated coconut till it goes creamy and then a bit of coconut milk and a pint of meat stock.

Macaroni pie
The way we make it is...
Cook the macaroni in salted water
Dice up finely some tomato, pepper and onion
Grated quite a bit of cheese, enough to make to cover all the macaroni
add all ingredients to cooked macaroni
add a dash of ketchup ( enough to make the mixture look pink )
you can add an egg if you want to
Seasoning to taste
place in oven dish
put some grated cheese on top and put in the oven until the top is golden brown
There you have it
Macaroni pie

Soulstarr's Macaroni: I'm famous for this!
(sorry folks but I've been brought up not using measurments so just use your judgement)
- Mix a heaped tablespoon of flour with enough skimmed milk to make a thick but runny mixture (not a lot by the way)
- Heat some milk in a pan and add mixture to it and bring to the boil, constantly mixing to avoid lumps until thick and add a knob of butter if you like) once think, push through a sieve to eliminate stray lumps.
- Add this mixture along with some finely chopped onion, crushed garlic, black pepper, salt (if desired), and lots of grated cheese to enough cooked pasta to fill whatever dish/pan you plan on baking it in and mix well
- Put the whole lot in an oven dish and and top with extra grated cheese (or my personal fave, mozarella) and bake till....er...cooked (never use timers in my house either!) I thinkits usually about 45-60 minutes depending on how crispy you like the topping.
- enjoy!

I gotcha. I happen to be an expert in making peach cobblers but you're on your own for that sweet potato pie.
Peach Cobbler:
1/2 cup butter (1 stick if you will)
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1-1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
3 cups or more of peeled and sliced fresh peaches with their juices. Sometimes I also use strawberries and bananas along with the peaches.
Preheat oven
Put the butter in a baking dish and put the dish in the preheating oven. While the butter is melting, mix up the batter in a bowl by combining the flour, baking powder, salt, and milk in exactly that order.
When the butter is completely melted, remove the pan and pour the batter into the melted butter. Spread the batter out and then carefully spoon the peaches and juice (other fruits as well if you choose to include them) evenly over the batter. After this, you then take a spoon and carefully sprinkle the entire cup of sugar over the peaches and the batter. Don't mix anything.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
Note: If you like a lot of sugar then mix sugar with the flour, baking powder, etc. as you're first making the batter and then go on and sprinkle more sugar on top of the batter in the final step.
