About
A beloved Bahamian bread — a dense, slightly sweet pan-baked cornmeal and flour cake with a golden crust and a soft, buttery interior. Johnny cake has been a staple of Bahamian cooking since the colonial era and accompanies virtually every savoury dish — stew fish, conch chowder, and chicken souse. It is also eaten sliced with butter for breakfast or as a snack. Every Bahamian cook knows how to make johnny cake from memory — no recipe card needed.
