Yaniqueque is said to be a corruption of the English 'johnnycake,' introduced from the English-speaking Caribbean islands. In the Dominican Republic it's loved as a salty snack like a big cracker, made by rolling flour dough thin and frying it crisp, sold from baskets by vendors walking the beaches, especially at Boca Chica.
Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt and rub in the butter.
Add water little by little and knead into a smooth dough; rest 30 minutes.
Divide into ping-pong-ball sizes, roll into balls, dust with flour, and roll very thin into rounds.
Cut a small slit in the center with a knife (to keep them from puffing too much).
Fry in 180°C oil for 1–2 minutes until golden on both sides.
Drain and sprinkle with a little salt.
