      Cooking with Shirani
      Hi I was looking for belizean fry jack recipe and chose to look at this video, coincidentally I have a recent loss similar to yours, 6 weeks ago my dear sister passed away unexpectedly in her sleep too, she would have been 53 next week, we were so close, it’s so hard to accept, it’s so painful and many times a sadness comes over me every time I realize I don’t have her around any more. Looks like, after hearing you tell of your loss and crying, one never completely gets over loss of loved ones, even years later. But it’s nice to see you’ve turned it into something positive with your RUclips channel. I wish you the best. God bless you.

      Hi Elle, I'm so so sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved sister. Losing a love one and especially someone you are close with is never easy. I sometimes feel like I'm gonna forever have a broken heart. I have my good days but like you there are times when I get really really sad. Even though I don't know you, just know that I'm thinking of you and praying for you. Take care of yourself ❤.

    I still yearn for them today. You honor your mum and sister with this video and I know they are smiling and nodding their approval of they're technique living on in you. Smile in remembrance of them both. You were so lucky to have that time with them. Live on with the knowledge that they're strength lives on in you! They are always with you!

    First let me say I love the simplicity of your recipes. I have followed and prepared many of your recipes with great success. Today I made the Fry Jack and every detailed you gave, medium high, amount of oil, not too flat, etc. Turned out superb. My hubby who is Belizean loved them and gave many compliments. Our sons came over for breakfast and loved them too. Thank you for this channel Shirani!!

      ¼ taza de manteca vegetal
      1 ½ tazas de agua (use un poco más si es necesario)
      Aceite vegetal o de canola para freír
      Rinde 12 tortillas
      Consejos y trucos:

      2.Asegúrate de que el aceite esté caliente (fuego medio alto)
      3. No esparza la masa demasiado fina

    Thank you Shirani for sharing your wisdom in recipes and food making. I haven't tried this one yet, but I think I sure will in the near future! I think you must have been a very lovely family altogether. It touches my heart when you share that your mom and your sister have passed away. I love you and would like to give you a comforting hug. God bless you Shirani and keep sharing!

    Thanks for sharing your story! This is a great way to remember your loved ones. Another great video! Please keep them coming. I just came back from Belize, ate a lot and drank tons of coconut water. Was in your neck of the woods as well.

      Aww, thank you! Omg! I love coconut water. Sounds like you had a good time. Did you get to eat any crab, mango or craboo? I think this is the season right now. When I go back I always make sure I eat everything 😁. I usually go to Belize in the summer except this year I didn't go, but if I did I probably would have seen you 😊.

    Thanks for sharing that story with us ❤️I can totally understand especially when you're cooking you kind of picture yourself with that person and you go back in time and have all these flashbacks. 😭
    also want to thank you for making this video because it was always a hit-or-miss when it came to fry jacks with me and I always wanted mine's really puffy. after you need the flower how long do you let it sit out before you start frying? The reason why I was asking is because growing up I always see my grandmaafter needing the flower she would lay the balls out in a row and put a kitchen rag over it I don't remember how long should we wait but I think it may contribute to the puffiness if I'm not mistaken? and when it comes to making Belizean tortillas and Belizean fry jacks I always would get confused as to which one doesn't supposed to have baking powder.

    • @CookingwithShirani
      @CookingwithShirani  4 года назад

      You are welcome dear and thank you as well! Let the dough rest atleast 15-20 minutes before you fry it. I don't know if that contributes to the puffiness but it makes it easier to spread and holds its shape better. As far as the baking powder goes my family always put baking powder in both and we use the exact same recipe. If you have any more questions let me know. Take care and God bless 🙏❤.
