Johnny Cake

Even though it is called Johnny Cake, to Bahamians it is really bread and in some instances it is called Johnny Bread. I call it the “official bread” of the Bahamas and we eat it with our stews, souses and soups.

This is one of the easiest breads to make.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups flour
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• ½ teaspoon of salt
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ cup milk
• ¹/₃ cup sugar

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees
2. Sift flour, salt, and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
3. Add sugar, oil and milk. Mix and pour in baking pan.
4. Bake until light brown or until inserted fork/toothpick comes out clean.

Note: I always add a bit more sugar, because I like mine just a wee bit sweeter.
