Put a large pot of water to boil. In a meduim bowl mix together the flour, cassava, salt and baking powder. Rub in butter. Add enough water to make a smooth soft dough. Shape into balls and flattened. Boil in salted waterfor 15 -20 minutes.
I can never get enough of this dish. In my family we usually serve it on Thursdays for lunch.
Talk about good eatting.
