Bahamas Recipes

Delicious Johnny cake is served at almost all Bahamian meals.

2 cups of flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tblsp shortening
1 Tblsp sugar

Mix flour, baking powder, salt, shortening and sugar with enough water to knead. 

Knead until smooth.

Roll out, on a lightly floured board, covered with a cloth and let lighten.

Then, bake at 350 degrees until brown on both sides (in a lightly greased frying pan) or for authenticity, on top the stove at very low heat.  Serve warm with lots of butter.

Serves 6.
