Nick thank you for this video ❤ I once had a festival at church and liked it, now I can make it myself.
What do you eat your festival with?
Ingredients for Jamaican Festival
Excellent video! 😍
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup refined cornmeal
Maybe I'm weird but I always drop in some vanilla essence, I like a crispier texture so I add more cornmeal and a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg. Not enough to overwhelm but toy get the warmth and extra something they add to the recipe. My family loves it.
½ tbsp baking powder
(Use ¾ to 1 tbsp if you prefer a lighter festival)
The best festival that I have ever made. Just as good as the ones sold on the river. Thank you!
1½ tbsp softened butter
1 tbsp brown sugar
Pumpkin Punch
½ tsp salt
1 to 1½ cups coconut milk (add gradually)
Thanks for teaching how to make this from scratch.👩🏾🎓 I usually make it from the pre-made festival mixes.
Oil for shallow frying
Optional Variations:
Very informative video
½ cup Lasco Soy Food Drink (in place of sugar and part of the milk)
Milk or water instead of coconut milk
NICE !!!
Pre-made festival mix (e.g., Jamaica Flour Mills) if not making from scratch

Followed the exact instructions, and sorry to tell you, but this is the worst festival I have ever made. This is a constructive criticism. Even putting more flour in to combat the stickiness, did not really work as you said it would, and I put in 1cup of liquid instead of 1& 1/2. Oh dear !!!
