My used to make this for us in SA and in all fairness the baguette this side just doesn’t do any justice to the ones made in Mauritius. With that being said my mom would use white sliced bread and I was always bounding around her legs waiting for these to be ready 😋.

Born and raised in South Africa to a Mauritian mother and to a Canadian father 🇲🇺🇨🇦🇿🇦. I am a super fan of those who know the difference between butter and margarine 😎😂.
