Belizean Powder Buns

Powder buns are a delightful treat from Belize, perfect for afternoons with family or as a unique addition to your breakfast table. Enjoy them warm from the oven, with a hint of cinnamon and the option to add raisins for a sweet bite. This version caters to those who prefer a lactose-free diet using suitable milk alternatives. Let's dive into this Central American classic!
