The aroma of freshly fried dumplings, slowly drifting through the kitchen, is more than just food for many in the Caribbean; Johnny Cake is a feeling of home. And that's exactly the feeling the Spanish Town Johnny Cake Mix brings directly to your plate.
What is Johnny Cake?
What was once known in the US as "Journey Cake," a simple bread for long days and journeys, has evolved through the colonial era into a staple of Caribbean cuisine.
Today, Johnny Cake is eaten daily on many islands like Jamaica, Trinidad, and the Bahamas. In Jamaica, it's known as a Fried Dumpling, a crispy fried breakfast roll, golden brown on the outside, soft and filling on the inside. As part of a traditional Jamaican breakfast, it should almost never be missing alongside Ackee and Saltfish.
