How to Make Bahamas Johnny Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup cornmeal, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 cup milk, and ¼ cup vegetable oil.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is lightly golden brown.
- Let the Johnny Cake cool slightly in the pan before cutting into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature with butter, honey, or your favorite preserves. Enjoy the taste of the Bahamas!
