Johnny Cakes

With less than 4 weeks before returning to the states I decided Sunday that I better get with the talented women from church and learn how to make more ethnic food. Afterall, I haven't really mastered making anything but Mango Smoothies and fried plantains. :) Chad has done better at learning then I have, but he's more willing to experiment too. So my first lesson was today, Sister Yvette Farrell had me over to her house and taught me the art of making johnny cakes. This is one of our favorite things to have when we go out to eat. So hopefully I will be able to reproduce this recipe and make them turn out as yummy as the ones she made today.
Into the oil they go!
The finished product.

I was instructed to try and make these BEFORE I leave so that if I can't master this Sister Farrell can give me further instruction.

I got the low down on seasoned rice also, so that Jordan won't show me up on that one since she had Shaveti teach her.

Maybe next week will be pumpkin pancakes...any other suggestions girls?
