Banfora - Burkina Faso
'Banbfora' is a Burkinabe equivalent of Welshcakes made with dried pineapple rather than sultanas.
Ingredients500g self-raising flour (we used all-purpose and 1 tsp of baking powder)
250g butter
200g sugar100g diced pineapple
2 eggs, beatena few tbsp milk
pinch of saltSift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl cut the butter into the mixture then rub with your fingers until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and pineapple and then stir-in the beaten eggs. Mix to a stiff dough and add a little mikl if the mixture is too stiff. Tip onto a floured surface and knead lightly before rolling out to 5mm thick. Cut the dough into 6cm rounds then fry on a lightly-greased griddle pan over low heat until the cakes are lightly browned on both sides. Cool on a wire rack and serve sprinkled with cinnamon and icing sugar.
