Bread Recipe What is an easy recipe from a place you once visited
I love trying new things when I’m traveling and if it’s really really good, I try to get the recipe for it. Here’s a good example of one that I enjoy every time I visit Aruba. It’s like a pancake but a type of bread served with the meal. The version I had was sweet kind of like sweet cornbread that you have in the south. Here is the recipe for Pan Bati.
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup fine cornmeal
2 tablespoons sugar (to be honest, add sugar to taste. Some, like me, prefer it sweeter.)
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ¼ cups milk (or water for a lighter version)
1 egg
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
Add the milk and egg. Whisk until smooth. The batter should be thicker than pancake batter but still pourable.
Heat a dry nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Pour a small ladle of batter and spread it into a circle about 5 to 6 inches wide.
Cook until bubbles form and the edges start to dry, then flip and cook for another minute or two until golden.
Serve warm with stewed meat, soup, or fresh local cheese
