Festival

Festivals are quite tasty, and quite similar to Johnny Cakes. They are similar in terms of how they are prepared, but what really sets them apart is a few key ingredients. Also, for some reason, they are usually made with a different shape. In order to make this, you will need the following ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 3 tablespoons cornmeal
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 2/3 cup water

How it's done:

• Sift the flour, baking powder,salt, and cornmeal and combine.
• Add the sugar and stir.
• Add the vanilla to the water, and then add the mixture to the dry ingredients,binding to form a soft dough.
• Knead lightly.
• Leave covered for about 1/2 an hour. divide the dough into eight portions.
• Flour hands.
• Knead lightly, then roll and pull each portion to form a 6 in x 1 1/2 in length, about 1/8 in thick.
• Dip the festival in a mixture of cornmeal and flour then deep fry in hot oil until golden brown.
