Trini Fried Bake or Jamaican Johnny Cakes

Really yummy and easy to make Caribbean styled fried roti.

One of my most favorite Trini foods is what we call fried bake, you can see the authentic way of making and serving it at the Trini Gourmet blog.

However since I would never to all of that on my own, I use Grace Johnny Cakes to make my bakes, and it’s just a matter of adding milk to the mixture and then frying in hot oil. One thing that I noticed was that if I go with the directions on the package, it comes out really sticky, and if you have extra flour, that’s perfect, but if you’re like me and don’t stock flour, you can just save a little of the mix to use as a flour substitute and add a little less milk.

Try it! Yum!!!

That recipe in the link looks like a much easier recipe than I use for johny cake so I will definately give it a try.
