• In a mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt and set aside
• Then combine the warm water and brown sugar and mix until sugar is completely dissolved
• Next whisk the egg, apple cider vinegar and melted coconut oil into the sugar-water solution
• Then add the sugar-water, egg mixture to the dry ingredients and mix together to form a soft dough. A rubber spatula is great for mixing the dough together as it can be a bit sticky
• Cover the dough with a damp paper towel and let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes
• Then pinch off a palm sized piece of dough and with floured hands roll it into a ball between your palms
• Next, place the dough ball on a floured surface and using a rolling pin dusted with flour roll the dough into a flat disk that is 1/8 inch thick
• You may choose to use a knife, hand pie cutter or the lid of a round container, to cut the bakes into neat round bakes or you can leave the edges as is for a more rustic look
• Repeat steps 6 to 8 until all of the dough has been rolled out into flat disks

Cooking the bakes

• Add oil to a saucepan on medium heat and bring up to temperature
• When the oil is hot but not smoking hot, add the rolled out bakes one at a time and cook for 40 second to a minute on each side or until each side is golden brown
• Then flip over and cook for another 30 seconds on the other side
• Bakes should be golden brown before removing from the heat
• Place cooked bakes on a plate lined with paper towels to allow some of the excess oil to drain
• Serve bakes hot and fresh
