How to Make Jamaican Bulla Cake
- Melt 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter. Set aside to cool slightly. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar with just enough warm water (about 2-3 tablespoons) to form a thick syrup.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Create a well in the center. Add the sugar syrup and melted butter to the well. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Lightly flour a clean work surface. Turn the dough out onto the surface and knead gently for 5 minutes. Roll the dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Use a 4-inch cookie cutter or knife to cut out circles. Place the bulla cakes onto a greased baking sheet.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bulla cakes are lightly golden brown and have puffed up slightly.
- Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy your homemade Jamaican Bulla Cakes! For extra flavor, try adding 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger or 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to the dry ingredients.
