Freshly baked American Johnnycake

Johnnycake

Johnnycake is a traditional American cornmeal flatbread with origins dating back to colonial times. Native Americans had long prepared similar cornmeal breads, and this technique was adopted by settlers. The simple but nourishing recipe quickly gained popularity and has been prepared differently in many regions over the centuries. It is most often eaten for breakfast or as a side dish, served with honey, butter, or even alongside savory dishes.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

    2

    In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and beaten egg.

    3

    Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

    4

    Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.

    5

    Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each johnnycake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

    6

    Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, until the other side is golden brown.

    7

    Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with butter, honey, or maple syrup.
