Traditional BVI Dumb Bread is a popular breakfast dish in the British Virgin Islands. It is a simple, yet satisfying dish that can be made in just a few minutes. The bread is deep-fried, resulting in a crisp and golden exterior with a soft and fluffy interior. The sweetness of the sugar and the saltiness of the bread make for a perfect flavor combination. This dish is often served with cheese, jam, or butter, and is best enjoyed warm right after being fried.

Instructions

1.	Combine flour, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
2.	Add enough water to make a soft dough.
3.	Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth.
4.	Roll out the dough and cut it into pieces.
5.	Heat shortening in a pan and fry the bread until it turns golden-brown on both sides.
6.	Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
