Cooking, Johnny Cakes
NATIVE BELIZEAN JOHNNY CAKES Belizean food is easy to prepare, physically filling and delightfully delicious. How about a dish of Johnny Cakes? Johnny Cakes are a favored breakfast dish in Belize. Johnny Cakes are a cross between what the American people traditionally or culturally know as biscuits and/or pancakes. Traditionally, in Belize, Johnny Cakes are a breakfast food item. However, Johnny Cakes are also, for many people, a standard, even a favorite bread that is consumed during lunch and dinner meals. Excellent with refried beans, cheese that is melted, crumbled or sliced.

Place flour in mixing bowl and add all dry ingredients. Work in shortening with fingers. Gradually add coconut cream and mix until dough handle easily without being too sticky, or dry. If too sticky, add a bit more flour. Knead until smooth. Cut into desired size (golf ball size works well) and shape into a ball.
