Caribbean, Component Lactose Free Nut Free, Plain Flour

Buss Up Shut (Trinidad and Tobago)

Serves 8

Ingredients

Method

500 g. Flour
1 tsp. Salt
2 tsp. Baking Powder
60 ml. Vegetable Oil
250 ml. Water
Additional Vegetable Oil for Cooking

In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.

Add the oil and water, mixing until a dough forms.

Divide the dough into balls and let them rest for about 30 minutes.

On a floured surface, roll out each ball into a thin round.

Heat a tawa or large frying pan over medium heat. Add a bit of oil.

Cook each round until golden brown on both sides, brushing with oil and continually crumpling it with a spatula as it cooks to get the “busted up shirt” effect.

Serve hot.
