A little sweeter and more cake like than cornbread, Johnnycake's origin is from Native Americans who taught the Europeans how to cook with cornmeal.
Lots of versions of Johnnycake look like pancakes, but the one I was raised on is more like cornbread. Both still call for butter and maple syrup on top. :)
This was my first time using cornmeal and I bought an organic type. I credit this to making the Johnnycake better than I remembered from when I was a kid. Happy New Year to me indeed!
Johnnycake (from My Mom's Best Recipes Cookbook)
1 egg1 C & 2 T milk
1/2 C flour
1 C corn meal
2 T sugar
3 t baking powder
1 t salt
Heat oven to 450 degrees. Generously grease 9 x 9 pan. Heat in oven while mixing batter. Beat egg. Beat all ingredients with rotary beater just until smooth. Pour batter into hot pan. Bake 20 minutes. Serve hot with butter and syrup.
Bake well and prosper!

I've never had this, but I think I'd love it. I love corn bread, and with butter and maple syrup, how can this not be awesome?

ReplyDeleteNot fair. I wanted to read about food and YOU sneak in a history lesson. So much for my “don’t learn no new stuff in 2011” resolution…

This is really interesting - I gre up on johnny cakes that looked like pancakes. As a kid in RI I loved them, but haven;t had them in years. I'd love to try your cornbread style version.
