Bahamas Johnny Cake Corn Bread Recipes

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.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease an 8 inch glass baking dish.
• Sift the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, corn oil and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix just until blended. Pour into the prepared pan, and shake gently to level it out.
• Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown. Serve hot. Just with butter will do, it is plenty sweet enough!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• With an electric mixer, mix the butter and sugar together until combined.
• Add the flour, water, salt, and baking powder to the bowl. Combine.
• Add the milk slowly until the batter is sticky.
• Dust hands with flour. Transfer dough from bowl to greased 9x9 pan. Gently flatten the dough in the pan.
• Bake for 1 hr or until the edges of the johnny cake are browned. The johnny cake will not rise much. (Every stove is different so while it's baking, keep an eye for the golden edges).

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients together well. Add wet ingredients and mix. Batter will be thick. Turn onto floured surface and knead several times or beat batter in bowl several times with a wooden spoon. Turn into a greased 8" round or square pan (can use an iron skillet). Dip fingers into flour and pat down dough. Prick top with a fork and brush with half of melted butter. Bake @450F for 25 minutes or until light golden brown. Brush with remaining melted butter. Cool slightly and serve warm or at room temp.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425; grease a 13x9 pan.
• Add dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl, stir through, make a well in the center.
• In another bowl, add eggs, milk, and oil all at once; blend well.
• Add wet to dry ingredients, stir until moistened (don't over-mix or you'll be sorry!).
• Fold in optional ingredients. Sausage should be in crumbles or bite-size pieces.
• Pour into prepared pan; rap pan on counter-top several times to bounce out the air-bubbles.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes--top will be golden-brown.
• Serve with butter and maple syrup.
• OPTION #1: Add 1 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese.
• OPTION #2: Add 1/2 - 1 cup of sweet corn (plain kernels); adds a neat "chewy" texture to the 'cake.'
• OPTION #3: Add 6 hard-boiled, chopped eggs.
• OPTION #4: Add 1 pound fried & drained pork sausage (crumbled) or links (bite-size).
