AuthorsefordCategoryBermudian dishes, Biscuits & SconesDifficultyBeginnerBermuda Johnny cakes are a popular traditional bermudian breakfast snack. These sweet breads are cooked in a cast iron pan over the stove and served with butter and jam or cheese.
To Start, Combine all dry ingredients to one bowl Followed by the wet. Mix with a spoon or spatula until dough forms.
Roll out onto a lightly floured surface and fold into a rectangular shape. Use a glass or cookie cutter to cut out circular shapes from the dough similar to scones.
Next, Heat your cast iron pan on a low to medium setting and lightly dust with flour as to keep the dough from sticking to the pan.
Place your cake rounds in the pan and allow them to cook ensuring both sides are golden.
Finally, cook the cakes for 10 - 15 minutes as they need to steam cook in the middle. Once they are fully cooked, remove the cakes from the pan and serve with butter and jam or cheese.
Follow all of the directions above, however instead of cutting out biscuit rounds, add the dough directly to the hot floured pan.
Cook on top of the stove for 20 - 25 minutes to ensure the inside cooks.
