Fry Jack | Traditional Bread From Belize | TasteAtlas

Fry Jack

Fry jacks are popular Belizean breakfast breads consisting of golden fried dough that is characterized by puffing up and floating when placed in hot oil. They are usually served with savory accompaniments such as refried beans, eggs, or bacon, but can also be topped with jam or honey.


A staple of Belizean cuisine and a Caribbean favorite, the breads are said to taste the best when accompanied by beverages such as coffee or mango juice. Due to the fact that fry jacks are extremely quick and easy to prepare, they go by many different names all over the globe, with just a little bit of difference in the ingredients, such as beignets in New Orleans or sopapillas in Mexico.
