Bahamian Baked Johnny Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, plus extra for greasing pan
3/4 cup sugar
4 cups flour
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup milk

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
With an electric mixer, mix the butter and sugar together until combined.
Add the flour, water, salt, and baking powder to the bowl. Combine.
Add the milk slowly until the batter is sticky.
Dust hands with flour. Transfer dough from bowl to greased 9x9 pan. Gently flatten the dough in the pan.
Bake for 1 hr or until the edges of the johnny cake are browned. The johnny cake will not rise much. (Every stove is different so while it's baking, keep an eye for the golden edges).
