The colourful name of these pastries comes from their coiled shape that resemblance to beef patties and they are a Guadeloupean speciality.
Ingredients:
250g flour
200g concentrated sugarcane syrup (eg golden syrup)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
ground cinnamon
freshly-grated nutmeg
coconut jam
Method:
Pre-heat your oven to 180C.
Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl. Add all the remaining ingredients (except the jam) then mix with a wooden spoon and then by hand to form a ball of dough similar to shortcrust pastry.
Using 200g of the dough, form 6 balls and flatten them to about 1 cm thick on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Place 2 or 3 teaspoons of coconut jam in the centre of each patty.
Cover with the remaining dough, forming a log shape then coil these as shown in the image. Spread about 1/2 tsp of jam over the top of the beef patties to make them shiny.
Transfer to the centre of your pre-heated oven and bake for about 35 minutes then remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
