Bread making is on the rise. While everyone may not be gifted with the skills of a baker, this simple British Virgin Islands style johnnycake is an easy staple to make at home. The name johnnycake is believed to have derived from its original "Journey Cake" title meaning a bread that can be prepared for travel.
Cook up a batch as an accompaniment to a savory main dish. Salt fish or lobster are the options of choice
in the British Virgin Islands.
