Johnny Cakes (The Bahamas) image

This recipe Is from week 19 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and The Bahamas are my 19th stop. Johnny cakes are served all over the Caribbean, but they make them a little differently in the Bahamas (without cornmeal).

Time 45m

Yield 9-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening
2/3 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • Mix all the dry ingredients together, then cut in the shortening. Work the mixture with your hands until the grains are about the size of rice.
  • Add milk until you get a soft dough (I had to use a bit more than the recipe called for).
  • Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth.
  • Let the dough rest for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a greased 9x9 inch pan. You will have to press it down so it fills in all the corners. Poke the top of the dough a few times with a fork.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. You can tell the cake is done when it starts to turn a little golden around the edges.

These Johnny cakes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some spices next time.

I've tried several different Johnny cake recipes and this one is by far the best. They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfect.

I followed the recipe exactly but my Johnny cakes didn't turn out as light and fluffy as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These Johnny cakes were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These Johnny cakes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These Johnny cakes were absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfect. They were light and fluffy on the inside, and crispy on the outside. I served them with butter and honey, and they were the perfect breakfast. I
