Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Coconut milk — Shake the can well before using to ensure the cream and liquid are well combined.
  • Pineapple juice — Use freshly squeezed juice for the best flavor.
  • Vanilla extract — Use pure vanilla extract for the best taste.
  • Ground cinnamon — If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can increase the amount to 1 1/2 teaspoons.
  • Butter — Make sure the butter is melted and cooled slightly before adding it to the dough.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a more tropical flavor, you can add shredded coconut to the dough.
  • Serve the Potato Bread Farl with a dollop of coconut yogurt or a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for an extra touch of tropical goodness.
  • If you don't have pineapple juice, you can substitute it with orange juice or mango juice.
  • To make the farl gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour.
  • Leftover farls can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated in a toaster or skillet before serving.

Serving advice

Serve the Potato Bread Farl warm, either on its own or with a spread of butter or jam. It pairs well with a cup of hot tea or a refreshing tropical fruit smoothie.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, you can sprinkle some powdered sugar on top of the farls before serving. You can also garnish the plate with fresh pineapple slices or a sprig of mint for a pop of color.
