Ingredients:
For Bake:
2 cups plain flour (or 3/4 cups plain flour and 1/4 cup wholewheat flour)
1 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. butter or lard
Water
For Saltfish:
1/2 lb. saltfish
3 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
3/4 cups tomatoes, chopped
1/2 tsp. chive, chopped
1/2 tsp. thyme, chopped (spanish or fine leaf)
2 tbsp. olive or coconut oil (to fry the salt fish)
1 small hot pepper, finely chopped (optional)
Directions:
Sift the flour and baking powder together. Then cut the lard or butter into the flour. Mix well to a fine meal. Add the water, and knead to form a smooth batter. Leave to rest for about 30 to 40 minutes. Roll out to a desired thickness. You may spread a little oil on the rolled dough before placing it on the tawah to bake. Bake on both sides. Remove and place on a clean kitchen cloth.
Boil the salt fish until tender and the bones and skin is easily removed. Wash out the extra salt with water. Saute the onion, pimento, and tomato for about 2 minutes. Add the salt fish. Cook for another 3-5 minutes. Add a little bit of water if desired. Season to taste. Remove and serve with bake.
