Fry Jacks with Beans [0000609]

Ingredients:

2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water
2 cups cooked and mashed red kidney beans
1 cup shredded cheese
Cooking oil for frying
1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for a sweeter fry jack)
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Steps:

In a bowl, mix gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add warm water, stirring until a dough forms. Knead until smooth.
Divide the dough into small balls and roll them out into flat rounds.
Heat oil in a pan. Fry the dough rounds until they puff up and turn golden brown on both sides.
In a separate bowl, mix mashed beans and shredded cheese.
Open a slit in each fry jack and stuff with the bean and cheese mixture.
Serve warm. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for a sweet touch.
Enjoy your gluten-free Fry Jacks with Beans – a delightful Belizean treat!
