1In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the water and milk, mixing until a soft dough forms.
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough gently for about 1-2 minutes.
Divide the dough into small balls and flatten each ball into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Fry the patties in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the Johnny Cakes from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
Serve warm and enjoy your Spicy Caribbean Johnny Cakes!
