Powda Bon (Powder Bun) image

Adapted from several online recipes: namely 'Flavors of Belize' cookbook and belmopancityonlin.com. Vegan friendly. For the record: I used half unbleached cane sugar and half demerara. If at all possible, please use *freshly* grated nutmeg. My Belizean friend described these buns "like English scones."

Time 35m

Yield 12 buns

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups unbleached flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
1/3 cup brown sugar (regular brown sugar, raw, demerara, muscovado, turbinado)
1/3 cup unbleached cane sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter (I used a combination of butter and coconut oil but original recipe specified shortening) or 2 tablespoons coconut oil (I used a combination of butter and coconut oil but original recipe specified shortening)
1/2 cup coconut milk (can use regular milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup raisins (we subbed dried cranberries because someone in our household does not like raisins)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Stir in both sugars and nutmeg.
  • Cut in the butter/shortening and/or coconut oil.
  • Combine the coconut milk and vanilla and stir in the bowl with the flour *just* until moistened. DO NOT overmix the batter! Stir in the raisins.
  • Roll into equal size balls and [slightly] flatten.
  • Arrange on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake about 20 minutes or until golden brown. We liked our powda bons with a drizzle of agave.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but these buns were surprisingly good. The coconut flavor was subtle and didn't overpower the other flavors.

I made these buns gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend. They turned out just as good as the regular version!

I'm allergic to coconut, so I substituted almond milk in this recipe. The buns still turned out great! I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone with a coconut allergy.

These buns were a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise they were delicious. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The buns didn't turn out as soft and fluffy as I expected, and the coconut flavor was overpowering.
