After a trip to the Bahamas, my mom came home with a recipe for something call Johnny Cake which is completely unlike U.S. Johnny Cake (usually a version of cornbread). It is a great big baking powder biscuit traditionally cooked on the stove top in cast iron pan. It always takes us all back to Spanish Wells, Bahamas to make...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 c flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 c white sugar
1/2 c butter
2/3 c milk

Steps:

  • 1. Combine dry ingredients and cut in the butter until pea sized. Add milk to make a soft dough and knead until smooth. Let dough rest for about 10 minutes.
  • 2. You can use either of these cooking methods: Heat a cast iron skillet on very low to medium low heat on the stove top and grease well. Roll out the dough into a disk that neatly fits in the pan. Grill on each side about 10-15 minutes being careful not to burn it. Flipping it is a challenge. I used 2 spatulas in tandem. Check for doneness and cut into wedges and eat. This is how they do it in the Bahamas.
  • 3. OR place the dough in a greased 8 or 9 inch round or square pan. Pierce the top with a fork and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with milk, return to oven and bake for 5 minutes more. Then EAT IT.

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.

Time 55m

Yield 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 cups low-fat milk
1 cup water
4 whole eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup melted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 11x15 baking pan and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder and then add the sugar and salt. With your fingers, gently knead in the stick of butter until well incorporated in the mixture. Add in the eggs, vegetable oil, milk and water and mix well with a spoon until the texture of your mixture is between that of a bread dough and the batter of a cake mix, adding more water if necessary.
  • Pour mixture into greased pan and bake for 30mins. Brush the melted butter over the top and continue to bake for another 15 mins or until golden brown and butter knife comes out clean from the middle.
  • Cut in squares and serve warm with butter or jam.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
  • Make sure the johnnycake mix is well-blended before adding the water.
  • Do not overmix the dough, as this will make the johnnycakes tough.
  • Heat the griddle or skillet over medium heat before cooking the johnnycakes.
  • Cook the johnnycakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the johnnycakes immediately with your favorite toppings.
