How to Make Bakes and Saltfish | St. Lucian Style 

Awesome video! Looking forward to trying thus recipe. A few questions... what can be substituted if I've only got regular flour? (If yeast, is an option...what would the measurement be?) And what temperature were the bakes fried at? Was it medium, medium high? Thank you!

I don't know why people dislike this recipe st Lucian food is life

My mom is also from St. Lucia. She make her bakes a little different but I still really enjoyed this video. She also does the cucumber salad and salt fish similar to your mom....ummm it's so delicious. Thanks for posting...

I am Lucian and making bakes have been hit or miss for me(mostly miss for many years until a friend shared a recipe).I am so happy you uploaded it.Makong bakes does not come naturally to me.

I'm Jamaican and we do dumpings which is somewhat similar to bakes but I love St.Lucian bakes more! I've had them at St.Lucian cookouts and enjoy it so much. I'll definitely try making this. Thanks!

Love it! Makes me want to visit home 🇱🇨

Love this. Like we by the market. Waiting for hit babes n cocoa tea. Boss life.

Well done, I am a St.lucian I live selfish and bakes. I never use selfrisen flour, we always put put in the dry ingredients. Your mum is good and I'm happy that there is a video on sg.lucian cooking, hoping to see more of it. Bravo job well done

Thanks mom and daughter most people not giving a measurements you all keep this up God bless ❤😊

Hello, I made this as a surprise birthday gift for a St. Lucian friend. This was her favorite meal growing up, and your recipe got me all the brownie points! Thank you! We all loved it!

Oh wow, beautifully done mummy. Love the recipe 🧡👩‍🍳

I must say explanatory and delicious and yummy. Great job.

Im st lucian and had this every sunday morning, usually wed have some corned beef fried with onions too. But my question always was why do we call it bakes when its fried? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Absolutely 💯 delicious

Augier checking in.

Looks yummy going to try this dish tonight!

Nicely done. Mouthwatering

Looks delicious

Thank you so much!

Yes 🇱🇨👍🏿

Where you guys live?

These look amazing!

And salt fish is very salty, so giving it a few good soaks will deplete some salt.

I don’t think self-raising flour has salt in it in the UK - this is the second time today I’ve heard about salt in self-raising flour 🥺

Where to get salt fish in Castries?

Daddy’s home to stay.

🇱🇨 🇱🇨

You also don't get rid of the salt

I have high blood pressure 😞 what can I replace with salt fish?

Nice,,

No baking powder

My brother makes great floats, however he has the hole in the center just like you which I dislike.

Epic failed I a m St Lucian and that’s not how it’s really done St Lucian style. Number #1 Cucumber salad a little oil, fresh crushed garlic, salt, black pepper, squeeze a fresh lime or lemon , some people use vinegar in there instead of lime or the lemon,and you are done . Saltfish is our national dish my grandmother did not do all that extra stuff and her saltfish was delicious. All she did boil the saltfish fish sautéed some hot oil with onions and tomato, add a little black pepper then put in your cut up saltfish . That’s it . That was not bakes , bakes are thicker and smaller, she literally made little floats. There is certainly a difference. Coming from a Lucian with a generations of Lucian blood !!!!!!
