I am excited that we are able to participate in Samoan Language Week.

Years 7 to 10 have practiced making Panikeke today. For some of us, it was our first time, and for others who have made them at home before, they were able to take on a leadership role and give us advice and help us to pronounce Samoan words properly.

Here is our recipe:

  3 ½ cups all-purpose flour

· 1 ⅓ cups white sugar

· 2 teaspoons baking powder

· 2 very ripe bananas, mashed

· 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

· 1 ½ cups water

· 6 cups vegetable oil for frying
