guava duff/'dough

Couple weeks ago i tried this recipe a Bahamain dessert, this was my first time and i really really wanted some but i cudnt buy it anywhere so i looked up the recipe and made my own. i would call this more a guava dough than duff cause it resembles dough u might find in soup or crab n dough. but otherwise it was good more chewy than light textured and soft as the typical guava duff. ne way i used the guavas out of the can and followed this recipe. i wish i took some pictures but everytime i cook something im to lazy to grab the camera it was pretty though take my word ill post some pictures of other people creations instead. until i make it again idk when that will be.

1 lb flour
2 tsp baking powder
(about) 1 cup cold water 
1 pinch of salt
optional cinnamon and cloves

I kneaded to dough until it was of even texture or smooth. the next step is to roll the dough out or stretch it to its maximum length without tearing it and from the shortest length i threw in the sliced guava and rolled it up into a pin wheel like a jelly roll and sealed the edges by pinching the seams.
then i put it in a white pillow case and mad a knot. In a large pot i filled the bottom with water and used a vegetable steam basket for elevation and i placed my pillowcase inside and put on the lid with the heat about to a medium simmer for 25-30 mins.

The sauce
1 can of condensed milk
a hand full of guavas
2 tbs butter
1 tbs vanilla

blend everything together until the guavas is in a sauce consistency.

stolen picture but it should look something like this!
