Notes
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when making Belizean powder buns:
- For an extra burst of flavor, you can add 1 teaspoon of nutmeg to the dough along with the cinnamon powder.
- If you don’t have margarine, you can use butter instead.
- You can also use dried cranberries or currants instead of raisins.
- These buns are best enjoyed the same day they are made, but you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
