St Lucia Hot Bakes are a popular pastry in the Caribbean, especially in St Lucia. These lightly sweetened and fluffy pastries are a perfect addition to any breakfast or brunch table. They are usually served with fried fish, cheese, or honey as toppings. The dough for these bakes is usually cut into small, circular shapes and deep-fried until golden brown. The St Lucia Hot Bakes are then served warm, crispy on the outside but soft and fluffy on the inside. The texture of these bakes is similar to a donut, and they are often enjoyed with a cup of hot tea or coffee.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2.	Add in the butter and milk and mix well.
3.	Slowly add in enough water to make a soft dough, kneading until smooth.
4.	Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into shapes.
5.	In a frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat.
6.	Fry the bakes until golden brown, flipping once to cook both sides.
7.	Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
