Dominican Bakes (Fried Dough Squares) 🍳

1. 1

   Whisk flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl.

2. 2

   Stir in melted butter, then add lukewarm milk little by little.

3. 3

5. 5

   Flatten each ball with your hands, pressing a dimple with your thumb.

6. 6

   Deep-fry over medium heat, turning once, until evenly golden on both sides.

7. 7

   Drain and serve hot with saltfish, stew, or a cup of local tea.
