+BlessedbtheRock I appreciate your feedback. Thank you! This is how I grow up watching my mom make Johnny Cake. Honestly, I haven't see anyone else add cinnamon to theirs but that's what make my mom's recipe so unique. It's really delicious!!! My mom is from St. Lucia and lived in the Virgin Islands most of her life. Perhaps her recipe is a Cruzan-Lucian recipe. LOL Feel free to try it and if you like cinnamon that's great but if you don't just follow the recipe without it. Enjoy!!!

I dont care if its the real cruzan. Or not i just want to meet her and tell her thanks it looks good i would like to taste them

[@BlessedbtheRock]

These measurements were for a bag 5 lbs All purpose Gold Medel flour. Pour most of the flour in the bowl and save some in the bag (about 1/2 a pound) for when you are rolling the dough.

I'm sorry to inform you but this is not the original Virgin Islands johnny cake recipe, perhaps this recipe is from her mother's island...

[@bandit4true]

100% i thought she was making donuts when she added cinnamon

A list of ingredients with measurements and baking or frying instructions would help a lot!

[@chrissystewart6268]

Hi What's the ingredients for the johnny cakes? How many minutes do The Johnny cakes need to cook?

[@deniselamotta8481]

Did she put cinnamon

[@c.jenn01]

I don't doubt that this is Johnny Cake, and I'll admit Johnny Cake is made differently by many different Island and Country. But what VI is this from. I have never seen Johnny Cake made like this a day in my life, and I was born and raised in the Virgin Islands. Enjoy!!

[@bandit4true]

100% i never in my life. Lmaooooo

[@proudislander9608]

Wow that a new recipe for me in Johnny cake nutMeg and cinnamon she sound like she from Dominica or St .Lucia and again anybody and add any ingredient to their food

[@mayrosecoumarbatch5866]

I made some v.i johnny cake this morning. I have never seen nutmeg or cinnamon. I think that is called festivals. Each island is different. I will love to try it this way. Looks very interesting. I like to learn new things. Thanks,and may God continue to bless you.

[@daddycoukos]

Where is ur grandma from?

[@hazelible6854]

I have never had VI Johnny cakes with cinnamon in them. This is not so. Also besides the frying many VI citizens now use the oven and BAKE them, which is even better....Health wise. :)

Measurement where? 🤣😂 how my mother taught me!

[@claramckenzie6558]

I can appreciate the love of watching your grandmother make this delightful concoction but I still won't know how to make it. If she doesn't measure that's fine but give some type of estimate. This is nice but not a tutorial at all. Hope grandma enjoys her visit. Hopefully you all are enjoying her homemade delicacies.
