Key Ingredients

Fermented Corn (Maize) Dough and Cassava Dough — the authentic two-ingredient heart of traditional Ghanaian banku, pre-fermented and milled into a convenient ready-to-cook flour.

• 🌽 Fermented Corn (Maize) Dough — the soul of authentic banku. Naturally fermented maize brings that unmistakeable mildly sour, tangy depth of flavour that no other swallow can replicate. Fermentation also helps break down natural starches and fibres, making the corn more digestible and nutritionally available
• 🌿 Cassava Dough — the body of the banku. Cassava adds the stretchy, elastic, cohesive texture that makes banku the perfect swallow — smooth enough to shape, firm enough to hold, deeply satisfying to eat

How to Prepare

1. Add Dawsson Banku Mix Flour to a bowl with enough cold water to form a completely smooth, lump-free paste — stir thoroughly before applying any heat
2. Pour the paste into a saucepan of boiling water, stirring continuously with a sturdy wooden spoon or ladle
3. Cook on medium heat, stirring and “driving” the banku constantly — this continuous motion builds the smooth, stretchy, elastic texture
4. Add salt to taste and cook until the banku pulls cleanly away from the sides of the pot — approximately 15–20 minutes
5. Scoop portions into a wet bowl, shape into smooth balls, and serve hot immediately

Tip: Banku firms up as it cools — cook it slightly softer than your final preferred consistency if not serving straight away. Always mix the flour with cold water first before adding to boiling water — this prevents lumps.
