Fresh Johnny Cakes this morning. The Christmas gods came early! ๐ฅฐ
It truly felt like a Belizean Christmas! ๐๐ง๐ฟ
Fun fact: Back in the day, slaves in Belize carried journey cakes on long travels because they were simple, hearty, and didnโt spoil. Made with flour, water, and sometimes coconut milk, they were easy to whip up and gave enough energy to push through hard days. These humble cakes tell a story of survival and have become a big part of our Belizean food traditions.
