Madungo Bakes - St. Vincent

St. Vincent Madungo Bakes

If you from Vincy then you must know what this is....

Ingredients:

1lb Madungo (Cassava starch)...
1/2 cup Coconut (grated)
1/4 tsp Nutmeg (grated)
1/4 cup Easy Bake flour (optional)
Pinch of Salt
Cinnamon to taste
Brown Sugar to taste
Water

Method:

1. Put some water in a pot to boil. Use water from pipe to make Madungo into a ball. Place the madungo ball into the boiling water until the outside forms into a “Glue-like” looking skin. This process takes about 2-3 minutes.

2. Remove the ball from the pot; place it in a container large enough to knead, then using a spoon peel the outside (glue-like skin) from the madungo ball. Then mash ball while it is hot.

3. Warm banana leaf over fire, wrap portions in the banana leaf and bake in an iron pot, skillet or copper. Remove the banana leaf when about ¾ baked to give crunch and color to outside.
