My grandma lived in Bahamas for over a decade and this delicious recipe is one of the things she brought back to Jamaica. I like to think of it as a cross between a cornless cornbread (ha) and a biscuit.

 1.50 cups Flour
 0.50 cup Salted codfish
 0.25 cup Chopped red or yellow bell peppers
 0.25 cup Diced onions
 1 Egg
 1 tbsp Softened butter
 1 tbsp Olive oil or any cooking oil
 1 pinch Salt
1

Cover codfish with water and allow to soak for 30 minutes before use.

2

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a baking pan or dish with butter.

3

Mix all ingredients together until just blended. Do not overmix.

4

Pour mixture into greased baking pan or dish.

5

Pour olive oil on top and swirl into mixture with a fork. This prevents the top crust from cracking too much during baking.

6

Bake mixture for approximately 35-40 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean.

7

Enjoy!
