Johnny Cake RecipesPosted on Thursday 26 April 2007 at 12:52 PM in In The Kitchen - Post CommentI heard this mentioned on a TV show this week and I was curious since I hadn't heard of them before. So I looked it up and found some recipes I'd like to try:Johnny Cake Recipe 1 1 cup corn meal 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar boiling water milk Combine first three ingredients. Pour boiling water over mixture very slowly, adding just enough to swell the meal. Let it sit several minutes, then add enough milk so mixture will drop from a spoon. Heat greased pancake griddle or iron skillet and spoon batter onto hot surface. Turn to brown other side. Serve with maple syrup and butter. Johnny Cake Recipe 2 1 egg 2 c. white or yellow cornmeal 1 tsp. salt 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 c. milk Beat 1 egg. Stir in 2 cups white or yellow corn meal, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups milk (to make batter thick). Drop spoonfuls of batter onto a well-greased hot griddle and fry to a golden brown on each side. Stir batter occasionally to keep well mixed. Serve hot with butter. Makes 12 Johnny cakes. Johnny Cake Recipe 2 1 c Sifted all-purpose flour 1 c White or Yellow Cornmeal 1 ts Baking soda 1/2 ts Salt 1 tablespoon sugar 1 Egg; medium beaten 1 c Buttermilk 3 tb Vegetable oil Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare an 8" by 8" by 2" pan with vegetable oil coating. Sift together all dry ingredients. Combine egg and buttermilk and add to dry ingredients all at once; add oil. Stir (do not beat) just until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour into the prepared pan and bake 25-30 minutes. Cut into 16 2-inch squares. |
