Here is a recipe for Johnny Cakes, it's a savoury tea biscuit that I think you will like. It's adapted from:
Roberts, J. (1987), A Hamper of Recipes from Jamaica, Heinemann Educational Books (Caribbean) Limited, Kingston, Jamaica.
Johnny Cakes
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 oz. margarine (1 tablespoon)
about 1/2 cup water
1 cup oil
Sift flour, baking powder and salt. Rub in margarine. Bind with water to form a soft dough (a little more water may be needed). Divide dough into ten balls. Knead each one from the outside in for half a minute then fry in a 6 in. pan of hot oil. As the bottom half browns turn each cake over and cook, gently, until done. Drain and serve hot. Split in two and butter if liked. Makes 10 Johnny cakes.
So, yes, I did get my free small coffee at McDonald's this morning. They are running a promo in Canada until May 3 during breakfast hours (5am to 10.30 am). See the news article below.
I can't wait to watch Adam Lambert on American Idol tonight!

I had never heard of these Johnny Cakes but when I asked hubby he said yes! His mom made them all the time when the kids were young.
Very interesting! I am going to try this soon. Thanks, Christine :-)
Mom and Japra, sorry I didn't have a picture to post of these, hope you'll both try them soon.
