This Jamaican festival recipe is the definition of "comfort food" and it's made using pantry staples like flour, cornmeal, sugar, and water. Perfect side dish with fried fish!
Ingredients
- 1 cup AP flour
- 2/3 cup fine cornmeal
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cold water or milk
- 2 tbsp cooking oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Slowly pour in milk or water and use your hands to combine.
