Bread (Fried) - Banfora (Fried Pastry with Pineapple)

A little about categorizing bread. Our system is not scientific by a long shot. We've placed them into table, flat, dessert, and fried. Table bread may include loaves of sandwich-type bread or something designed to serve as a loaf or dinner bun at the table. Flat is generally un-yeasted bread that is flat (duh!). Fried can be pan-fried or deep-fried. Dessert is for delectables such as banana bread. The words dressing and stuffing are interchangeable, depending where you live. Many will contain bread, others may not. This is dizzying.

Burkino-Faso-Dessert-1024x685.jpg
2-½ cups self raising flour
½ cup butter
½ cup sugar
¼ cup finely chopped pineapple
1 egg beaten
A couple tablespoons milk
Pinch of salt
Cinnamon and sugar mixture to sprinkle on top

Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Cut the butter into the mixture then rub with your fingers until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Add in the sugar and pineapple and then stir in the beaten egg. Mix to a stiff dough add in a little milk if it is too stiff. Tip onto a floured surface and knead lightly before rolling out to a round disk about ¼ inch thick. Cut the dough into 4-5 inch rounds, then fry on a lightly oiled griddle pan, over medium low heat until golden brown on both sides. Cool on a wire rack and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture. Serve.
