- In this video I do a remake of Fry Jacks or Fry Cakes to include more instructions and keeping everything uniformed with our theme. Fry Jacks are a simple fried bread that can be the difference between going to be hungry of being satisfied during times of recession or famine. I can be eaten with jams and jellies, peanut butter, confectioner/powdered sugar or meats and cheeses or alone. This is a very versatile meal.
a true Belizean will eat this with beans and egg!!
FAXXXX
Fry beans with fry egg, peyah(avocado) and a piece of happy cow cheese
your right!!!! a true Belizean eats it like that
@Aniyah Martinez @Aniyah Martinez what you eat yours with? I eat mine with refried beans and egg
Refried Beans 🌸🌸
OMG so you help me so much. Im a 24 year old american and my husband is Belizean and unfortunately i didnt take advantage of learning how to cook when we lived with his parents and now theyre back in belize. But thanks to you my husband thinks im the best cook ever hes even told me my food taste just like back home so thank you so much> even our daughter(8months old) enjoyed her 1st fry jack today. your awesome !!!
_Quick Tip_
Ensure oil is already hot and ready before dropping in the dough, otherwise it can absorb oil and the texture is wrong.
Just got back from Belize and hubby fell in love with these so I made him homemade refried beans, Rice, eggs and Fry jacks. This recipe was easy and perfect! He love them and cleaned his plate! Thanks for sharing.
This is awesome with refried beans and sour cream OMG!!!!! so GuD!
I'm native american aka Indian from the Navajo tribe and we make these but we call them frybread and we eat em with everything. Taste great as a base for some tacos aka Navajo taco or Indian taco. FYI I never learned how to make it and nobody would ever give me a recipe (taboo or somethin to ask) but now thx to u I can make "fry jacks" "fry cakes" or as we call them "frybread"
Hello! I'm Belizean...thank you so much for this recipe! My mom and aunt would make fry jacks when I was growing up but it looked like a lot of work. I really appreciate this simple yet delicious recipe. I made some this morning and they turned out great! I love them with refried beans also =)
Thank you for this wonderful yet simple recipe! I was born in Guatemala, lived in Belize for 4 years in my early 20s, spent another substantial part of my life in Georgia, USA and now live in Japan where I was craving Belizean Fry Jacks. After watching a number of videos, I settled on your recipe and have been making these more often than I care to admit!
Love your show!
I want you to know that I have made fry jacks several times since my last post and even if I say so myself they were great. Thanks again, I will be following you and keep up the good work.
I've always done fry jack with water. since viewing your video I've been using milk. It is delicious.
My finance prefers it with the powdered sugar, I prefer it with cheese, butter,beans,eggs, or some type of meat.
I'm happy that I came across your channel.
A new Fan!
i’m eating some right now, my Belizean grandma made me some❤️❤️
Just made it the exact same way you did! I am thrilled that you have this site. It's become a staple for my family to keep our Belizean recipes alive.
Oh Fiona, Hun you made my night. You know how it is sometimes you get exhausted and then people hurt you etc. Then you find a comment like this and it brightens your whole outlook. Thank you.
Thank you for the video my daughter Arlene, sent me this link her father may he rest in peace was from Belize. I use to cook alot of the Belizean meals but now it has been over 13 years since I fixed any of this meals. She wants me to make panadas, she I'll buy everything I'm seriously thinking of making them and some others things to. Thank you and God bless you.
I ate one of mine with Nutella spread on it. Also, I added cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar to one of the cut dough balls then spread with a little butter and a little more of the cinnamon sugar. Also, I will add a little cooked pork sausage, sage to one of the dough balls for a quick breakfast.
Thanks for the recipe. This is the first time I made fry jack and I was very impressed how it came out.
I made my Fry Jacks tonight.. very easy and my hubby was amazed at how good these taste ! I liked your older video you made too...when you showed friends (who ran out of grocery $) how to make these economical recipe and wow, kids will love these because it's satisfying and a hot meal too ! We ate our tonight with blackberry jelly (him) and I had mine with honey. We plan to use these for refried beans too !
I made these this morning topped with butter and powdered sugar(yes I'm American).......Delicious. I could not wait to get to Belize to have some. Thank you for publishing your recipe.
Everytime I make this I have to come to your video 😊
Thanks ..making the fry jacks,,brought back the memory of some wonderful breakfasts in Belize,,,guava jam and fresh pineapple juice ,,,fried fish ,eggs and rice
I tried it with wheat flower and meza flower because all i had was very tasty but once i followed your reciept it worked perfectly thank you so much. Also this is dog friendly if your trying to make it to payday just saying my dogs love it and i know its ok to eat
I made mine with cinnamon and powdered sugar they were so good thanks for the recipe
Ahsriana Everett you got the dough to wet. Scale back on the milk. Flour expands and contracts in different weather.
Interesting, my mom always flattened it with her hands never used a rolling pin and we always let our dough rest before we fry them. I guess everyone has their individual methods even though were all from Belize .
True everything is don old style here ...An I have never seen any1 make fry jack in different shapes an I am in Belize an my mom makes it with water not because milk is expensive but because it comes out fluffy an delicious.
@@selenecaliz8314 yeah I'm sorry but her whole method is something I've never seen before lol and coconut milk is nice in everything but yep we just use water .
Facts never seen fried jack like this
Your video reminds me of when i lived in Belize when i was a kid. In 1986 My family spent a year there mostly in PG but we got to explore the whole country. The local food was delicious and still to this day i remember the fry jacks.
I focus on what my goals are him.. I used to be overweight myself until I lost 68lbs in 12 months. Now I train 5 days a week and havnt looked back. Congrats on your transformation I applaud you. Tell jada to hang in there, it's the carbs that is the problem and not so much the fats we eat. I ate no complex carbs for 12 months. Just a high protein, low carb, moderate good far diet and exercise. It can be done. best wishes to you all :-)
My Belizean Grandmother made fryjack for breakfast. This is my all time favorite. My son just text asking for some.
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup of milk
Thank you♥️
Sharing this link to all my family & friends or anyone that loves ❤️old school ( Fry Jack ) she's the best 👍 Belizean style !!
Thanks Patricia, some people fuss at me because I use milk instead of water. I know we didn't have milk when growing up in Belize, but it's so cheap here in America so I use that option, and to me it's the better way.
Totally I agree it's a better way 👍 keep up the fabulous job !! & big ❤️love from your Miami followers 🌴🌴
Patricia Longsworth
Thank you so much...I've heard that I have a pretty good following in Miami, but thought the people were pulling my leg. lol I love you guys for the support.
thank you for the tutorial!! this was so helpful and the fry jacks came out great.
Yes, we certainly share a lot of similarities. So glad your Fry Jack came out awesome. :)
Ms Babara you have saved me ahain. Now i know have to make fried jack, bun and bread. I thank you for you shows and since 2015 im still a fan. Oh did i mention i made the fish with the mango salsa... amazing and my boo loved it.
You are strong Angie. Thankfully we only make these on Saturday's or Sunday's and we each only eat one. The rest of the week we drink a protein shake or eat a high fiber, high protein breakfast. The whole family is working hard to help Jada lose weight and keep it off and of course I never want to go back to where I was a few years ago. Keep up the good work on your end. :)
My mom would make these all the time.. so good! Thanks for sharing!
I cooked this bread today and it was delish! I stuffed the fry bread with a meat filling I had leftover from last nights dinner, making a meat pie. I didn't thin the bread out but made sure it was a little thicker and wide enough to hold the meat inside.
I grew up having fry jack with beans as a kid. My favorite memory is my dad making fry jack for breakfast. Making them for dinner tonight for my kids.
yes! thank you! thank you! thank you! this is exactly what ive been looking for. you brought back so many memories
Wow mein, thanks so much for this recipe. My mom would make fry jacks all the time when I was little. I really like them and so do my boys. So I was hoping to find a good recipe❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for this recipe, I am Belizean and grew up in Belize City. My mom used to make fry jacks for breakfast often but I never learnt because I hated putting my hands in flour when I was growing up. My mom has passed and I have been longing for some fry jacks. You make it look so easy, I will try this and let you know how it comes out.
Hi Yvonne, just add the milk slowly so you don't over wet the dough. If this happens you will have to add more flour and it'll get stiff. I'll be waiting for your update.
Yeh My older siblings were born in Belize city and i was in Corozal.. but I know it as fry jacks.. Mu mom still makes them.. Love them!! So makes me glad to see someone also doing it!
thanks for making this video. My dad is from Belize and I grew up eating Fry cake. Never knew how to make it until now. Thanks!
Thanks so much! Good simple instructions. Can't wait to try this myself!
Ohhh wow! Absolutely delicious! Never made this before but it was brilliant. Totally new to us here in the U.K.
My husband made some fry jacks this morning and it was yummy... again thank you for sharing the recipe.
I have to say I am really enjoying your channel! For the past two days I have done nothing but watch your channel. Thanks so much.
Wow Frances that is so wonderful to hear. Thank you so much. I know it takes time and for me a lot of eye strain to watch shows on the computer, so I truly appreciate you watching and letting me know. Happy New Year.
Good afternoon Ms.Barbara. My name is Latoya, and I just wanna tell you that your cooking show has help me so much. I am currently a sophomore in college in New York, and being away from home has been challenging because I'm use to my Belize cuisines. Because of your show, I am now able to prepare my own home cook meal and eat healthier. So far I made milk cake, fry jack, johnny cake ,fudge,meat pie, split peas and pigtail. Thus I must say they all came out perfect.

I love this jack with scrambled eggs. I had a last time I went to Orange Walk.
Love love love this! Thank you! Been meaning to get the recipe from mom but she doesn't use measurements. Made it for breakfast for my family and will do it every Sunday from now on.
Thanks. Im learning each time a different way. I was underestimating myself and i made it for dinner tonight for my family. They loved it. Hell i loved it. I tried one out of the first 4 ive made just to make sure am i prepared to give out my kitchen creations. Lol thanks for showing either way how.
I made variety and got carried away as if i was in a cater business and made 12 too many. Lol
I enjoyed your video though. Thanks
I made these for supper to go with scrambled eggs and hashbrowns. I thought they were yummy.
In Louisiana we call this fry bread!....Sooo good!
Thank you thank you THANK YOU!
I had an elementary school friend named Pamela when I lived in California. Her family was from Belize. Every Saturday morning her mom would make these Johnny cakes. I always wanted to know how to make them thank you for putting this on your site.
These are not Johnny cakes. Johnnycakes are baked. These are Fry Jack or Fry Cake because they are fried.
Thanks for the correction. LOL However, that's what she told they were called and that's all I knew. I've been searching for them and you make them the every same way I remember with a slit in the middle and everything. Again thanks for the correction. :)
SO easy to make. I'm definitely going to try them. They are almost the same as Indian Fry Bread and I LOVE those breads. They sell those at Fairs with cinnamon sugar in Naperville, Ill. But I've heard they also make them in to TACOS. I'm Mexican but to me, they don't qualify as tacos.
Try it this way :) czcams.com/video/YsPuV0zeuv8/video.html
Love Belize spoon, great to hace some one like you givin up the great belizean food, thanks....hope be soon in Belize.
Used your recipe in 2019! Turned out really great, thank you for showing me how to make these!
First time I had a Fry Jack on Key Caulker I thought to myself, "who could eat this entire thing". Then I ate the entire thing and said, "Give me MORE!!".
Lol good right? I have a lot of Native American followers who tells me they call it Navajo Bread.
Grandma always made them with water. When we were little we called them flapjacks because I guess we couldn’t say fry jacks 😜
hi ximximma2010, I left Belize when I was 15. So many of the foods I hated as a child I've changed to my liking. I was shocked to hear that people still use water. Only milk that didn't work good was coconut milk.
And I love fry jacks! With pancake syrup!! My dream is to one day live in Belize. We used to joke we were on "Belize Time" because the locals didn't rush for anything like we do in the States. I went in October with a medical/dental team. We worked with the Kechi (hope I spelled it right) in the Toledo District. The only thing that I didn't like was a chicken foot! LoL
Thanks for responding so quickly!! I'm a loyal follower and big fan!! We love you from Miami!!
These are similar to doubles in Trinidad. We eat them with chala or chickpeas. Same with different name. Love it!
love that you posted this,my Dad used to make these when I was a kid and I have been trying to get the recipe or find these for years!
Just made some with Silk brand Coconut Milk & a dash of Garlic Salt... SO BOMB!! This would be perfect to eat with Curries! (Rather than going to through the hassle of making Nann!)
Thank you! I show this to my husband and he is planning to make it. And when he does, we'll sure write you with our feedback.
I use coconut milk and it turn out great thank u for the step by step help !!! ❤️🇧🇿
In Utah, they have "fried scones". Which are not like British scones. They're basically any standard, white, yeast, bread dough, which is rolled out to about 1/4" thick, cut into circles or rectangles, fried, and then served with honey, butter, and/ or powdered sugar. So, very similar to fry jacks, except thicker and yeast leavened. I bet that's where your Utah niece started using powdered sugar on her fry jacks.
I think I rolled mine too thin. It was more like a tortilla, than fry bread. The flavor was like fried wontons. The good thing is I like fried wontons, so it's still a success. Next time though, I will work to get them thicker like yours. It's good to know that you they taste yummy either way. Thanks so much for the recipe!
Awesome AND AMAZING THANKS for sharing WOW yummy
I like mine with Dutch cheese an tea in the morning like how my grandma Alice Banner used to make in Brooklyn by god bless her she’s 105 years old.
Hi
Back home we make the same dough and we called them,johny cakes ,in spanish arrepas,we dont cut the center,we also use corn meal,deap fry or baked in oven or roast on a grill
Back home in aruba
Those cakes look so good! yum!!! I say, the more butter, the better lol I bet you can put just about anything on these….after buttering them maybe sprinkle some sugar and cinnamon or even pizza sauce and cheese but thats getting away from breakfast : ) I will have to try your recipe Thank you so much for sharing!
Oh my goodness they look so good! Wow wish I could eat them but I'm avoiding fry foods al together. I look Foreward to all your wonderful authentic recipes. Thanks so much again :-) Angie
Must try these fried jacks Barbara. I was reading your book today and these screamed out to me to make.I am inclined to have them savoury like you with some bacon & eggs. Thank you :)
marie Savino Yup...we had some today with re-fried beans. lol You will love them.
I’m loving that accent!
Hi Wind550, I was raised in Kings Park and all my life we called them fry jacks. After being married to Joe for the past 25 years though, I find myself slipping up and calling them fry cakes. To tell the truth, I've only heard his family call them that. Thanks for commenting. :)
How often do u go back to Belize?
Hi andreadabelizean, not sure if my recipe will taste like the ones you mentioned, but I do have a meat pie recipe at the site. Thanks for commenting.
I buy a smaller frying pan to conserve oil. My mom told me to get puffed up fried jacks you need extra hot oil. And if the pot is too hot your oil will evaporate.
WOW,born in Belize. never have i seen milk added to fry jack... i guess every Belizean does it their way, but the milk iv never seen. I do fry jack and mine blows up beautiful... Ur fry jacks look nice tho
I LOVE Belize!!! You mentioned Joe was from Sand Hill. I go with a medical team and we used to stay there near Zion Methodist Protestant Church. Small world.
Small world indeed! Well Joe got all excited to know you stay in his hometown. Thanks for subscribing, the support is greatly appreciated.
these came out great! so easy and so few ingredients. i was surprised you didnt use any butter. i was a bit worried because the dough was kinda stiff and i thought it was because i used cold milk, but they turned out fine and were quite tasty. eating them now with refried beans
Such beautiful dough!
I don't add salt either because baking soda is a sodium and adding the salt affects me too.. I used unsalted butter and sometimes coconut milk or warter. In Nicaragua on the Atlantic coast we call it fry tortilla. I also use the tortilla press. Yes, I'm lazy. Hahaha, Hahaha.
LOVE YOU FOR DOING THIS!!!! I'M SO EXCITED THAT I GET TO LEARN HOW TO DO THIS!!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! You made it simple for me
Thanks foe posting
Love ur channel! Been using it a lot lately.... Ur easy method really works!!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to say so. I do get a lot of flack about my method for Fry Jacks when I meet people. They hate that I don't make it with water. I say in America milk is cheap and it makes the cakes better so why not make the change.
The Bare Pantry Show if you want a quick way to check the oil you can drop in a popcorn kernel and when it pops the oil is hot enough.
Shari Benjamin Thank you, I'll try that next time and tell you how it works.
:) no im barbadian, but i love all your recipes and i find dat they are real similar in alot of ways to the foods here, we are all one caribbean family in a way..oh and the fry jacks came out great, taste amazing !!!
If you use milk they do have some vitamins!
thank you for this!! been looking for recipes everywhere
We are eating these as we speak.
+The Bare Pantry Show you're killing me ; ( I miss having all my aunts cook Belizean foods for me, beans and rice, fry jacks, fish soups
Hi Oscar, I always put the website right next the image of the book at the end of the video. I'm not allowed to put links here in the comments, so I'll have to spell everything out. barepantryshow (dot com) I'll be sure to start saying the website on each episode. Thank you so much for your support.
omg my dad makes these all the time 🇧🇿🇧🇿
yummy sweet fry Jack with fried beans and eggs
I put cinnamon and sugar on mine :-) reminds me of the elephant ears from the fair
Hi Chicpeligroza, I do feel you on that taboo thing. Majority of my recipes no one wanted to show me too. I love that you can make this work for one of your cultural foods. Maybe you'd like to share the recipe for Navajo taco with me. What's the toppings? I absolutely love the Native American culture and would love to learn and share some to dishes on the show. Thank you for commenting.
Love your channel!
Reminds me of fry bread , yummy !!!
i love your bread, it is done with love and devotion
I want a woman like you to cook for me
Puran Managaroo
Best compliment ever. lol
Hi Kendra..wow what an awesome compliment he gave you. "The best cook" and to think I may have played a small role in that. I can show it all, but if you didn't take the initiative and do it, it wouldn't mean anything. Anything I can ever do for you just let me know.
These are so delicious !
Yay!! I you made my day...I really want to get this recipe to the American public. :)
It's called "Indian fry bread" in America.
Love making fry jack...haven't made it with milk...must try it :)
I usually eat my fry Jack with retried beans and boiled eggs ,or scrambled with hash browns and jam and peanut butter in the mornings and also bacon. it's nice wit grape juice
