JOHNNY CAKES


Jamaican Fried Dumplings or Johnny Cakes:

2 cups Self Raising Flour (I used plain flour and a teaspoon of baking flour)

1 cup cold Milk

1 oz. Butter

Olive Oil for frying

Mix ingredients together, except cooking oil, and knead to make dough. Make the dough pieces the same as explained above.

Heat the cooking oil in the skillet, and fry dough pieces for three minutes on each side.

It’s imperative that you keep the heat on low for these dumplings or they will be hard on the sides and soft around the edges.

I put them in the oven for a few minutes when they were cooked, just to make sure they were cooked all the way through as they were quite thick
