Panamanian Johnnycakes are quite interesting. This is another recipe I’ve made for the World Cup football matches, with England. I mentioned it when I’ve shared the recipe for Ghraiba, Tunisian chickpeas flour biscuits. I was intrigued by this recipe, it’s for a biscuit, but that is not flat as a standard biscuit. Also, is made
