📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Barbadian bakes are small, slightly sweet fried breads made by dropping spoonfuls of a batter of flour, sugar, milk, and baking powder into oil. Despite the name 'bake,' they're fried. They're eaten for breakfast with sautéed salt cod or spread with butter as a snack.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a morning in a Barbadian home, small round fried breads fresh from the oil are piled on a plate beside sautéed salt cod and coffee.
