Belizean Powder (Poda) Bun Mix

Belizean Powder Bun or “Poda Bun” as  they are known in Creole are a popular traditional snack or sweet treat in Belize. They are known for their soft and fluffy texture, slightly sweet taste, and a tender crumb on the surface.
 
The texture of the buns are a cross between a light bread or a slightly dense cake and a chewy cookie on the inside while the tops are rough looking and slightly crunchy.  Powder Buns are commonly enjoyed as a snack or breakfast item and are often served with tea or coffee.
 
This dry mix for Powder Buns has everything you need to make 4 large buns. Normally Belizean Powder Buns are made with the addition of raisins, but I’ve tried milk chocolate chips in the buns and a combination of dried cranberries and white chocolate chips and these additions were delicious. 
 
Just 4 easy steps and the addition of 3 ingredients already in your fridge, you will have 4 (5 inch) Powder Buns in 25 minutes
