JOHNNY CAKES (THE BAHAMAS)

Steps:

• Mix all the dry ingredients together, then cut in the shortening. Work the mixture with your hands until the grains are about the size of rice.
• Add milk until you get a soft dough (I had to use a bit more than the recipe called for).
• Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth.
• Let the dough rest for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a greased 9x9 inch pan. You will have to press it down so it fills in all the corners. Poke the top of the dough a few times with a fork.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. You can tell the cake is done when it starts to turn a little golden around the edges.

NUM CHET CHIEN (CAMBODIAN BANANA NUGGETS)

Steps:

• Cut each spring roll wrapper in half.
• Brush the piece of wrapper with water to soften it, place a piece of banana at one end and roll it up just like you were rolling a spring roll - don't worry about making it too neat.
• Continue with all the rest of the banana pieces and wrappers.
• Heat a lot of oil in a wok, pan or deep fryer.
• Take a small square of the wrappers or a cube of bread to test if the oil is hot enough - if the oil fizzles around it and it crisps up quickly then the oil is hot enough.
• Deep fry the wrapped bananas in the hot oil for about 4-5 minutes or until they're browned slightly. Remove and drain on paper towel.
• Roll them in the icing sugar and eat them immediately while they're nice and hot.
• VARIATIONS:.
• Here are some variations that the author has tried and loved:.
• Add a small chunk of dark chocolate with the piece of banana.
• Or add a slice of cream cheese with the piece of banana (it goes all melty and yummy).
