How To Make johnnycake bahamian-style

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Heat a cast iron skillet in the oven while it preheats and you prep the johnnycake.

Step 3

Add the flour, water, salt and baking powder *just* until combined.
Step 4

Pour in the milk slowly until the batter is sticky. DO NOT over-mix the batter!

Carefully grease the cast iron skillet with butter and pour in the batter. Flatten the top.
Step 6

Bake 1 HOUR or until the edges of the johnnycake are browned. Note: the johnnycake will not rise very much.
