  • A recipe from Trinidad and Tobago for making a wonderful dessert called currants roll. We'll start off by making a flaky crust, to which we'll stuff with currants, cinnamon and brown sugar.
    You'll Need...
    3 cups all purpose flour
    1/2 cup butter (cold, in cubes)
    1/2 cup veg shortening (cold, in cubes)
    ¼ teaspoon salt
    1 cup or more ice cold water
    Filling mixture:
    1 1/2 cups currants
    1/4 cup brown sugar
    1 tablespoon cinnamon
    1/2 cup melted butter
    1 egg + 1 tablespoon milk

    Growing up in the islands (St.Kitts) my Auntie used to make these all the time like a boss, they are called Rasin Rolls. She also always had Rasin's soaking in Rum for cake making goodness and would sometime make Rasin Rolls with Rum soaked Rasins.... Mercy! And i just couldn't get enough of this guilty pleasure pastry good eat. You just couldn't eat one, you had to eat another and another. Her Rasin rolls were always flaky crust and always had them in a brown paperbag to carry around all sliced up the roll. Rasin Rolls were da bomb!

    Hi Chris, I have been following you for a couple of years and out of all the other bloggers/vloggers, I like your recipes best. People can't believe a Yankee can cook this way! I give you all the credit. Thank you!

    I am so glad that you make these videos . I lost my my mom at an early age and never was able to get the hang of West Indian cooking . Now I am able to enjoy some of the dishes that I enjoyed as a child. Thank you for posting these videos . Keep up the good work.

    Self raising flour is, flour that has a leavening agent - baking powder - and salt added to it during packaging. Plain flour is just plain flour... Hope this helps :D You do great cooking ,thank you for sharing !

    I wish someone would give you a show on the food network. I'm tired of them making Americanized "Caribbean" dishes. We need a real West Indian to represent us. But anyway, thanks for your recipes

    Grenada's tuned in, a pleasant Good Night to my Trinidadian brothers and sisters, I must say this is one of the best recipe I've ever seen and the rolls look very tasty. I haven't made Currant Rolls in a while and so I ended up here, didn't regret it at all.

Valentines day he made his first current roll. His dinner presentation was surprisingly great, and dessert of current rolls was delicious. This was a man who couldn't boil water. He is originally from Trinidad. June-July we visited Trinidad; my first visit had a good time. Went to Maracas Beach....love the bake and shark.
