Hello everybody, it’s me, Dave, welcome to our recipe site. Today, we’re going to make a distinctive dish, johnny cakes. It is one of my favorites food recipes. For mine, I will make it a little bit unique. This is gonna smell and look delicious.

Drop by large spoonfuls onto a hot greased griddle, and flatten slightly with the back of a spoon. When brown, turn and cook the other side. Johnnycake (also called journey cake, johnny bread, hoecake, shawnee cake or spider cornbread) is a cornmeal flatbread. An early American staple food, it is prepared on the Atlantic coast from Newfoundland to Jamaica.

To get started with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can cook johnny cakes using 7 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Johnny Cakes:
  1. Prepare 1.5 cups plain flour
  2. Prepare 1 cup cornmeal
  3. Make ready 1 cup desicated coconut
  4. Make ready 1 tsp baking powder
  5. Take 1/2 tsp salt
  6. Take 1/3 cup coconut oil
  7. Get 1 cup coconut milk

Cornbread is a quick bread that is typically made with cornmeal and all-purpose flour, along with some combination of buttermilk, egg, and/or milk. Johnnycakes, on the other hand, are more like a cornmeal flatbread that some liken to pancakes because they are often cooked on a griddle, but some versions are baked in the oven. This may be called "Johnny Cake " but I couldn't tell anything that made it different from regular ol' cornbread. Pretty good cornbread although it's a bit denser than I thought it would be. (I'd like to find a cornbread recipe a little moister and lighter.) In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt.

Steps to make Johnny Cakes:
  1. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl
  2. Add coconut oil. Mix it in well, using either hands or a spoon.
  3. Add coconut milk and work with your hands. The result should be a wet dough, slightly stickier than bread dough.
  4. To bake them, press spoonfuls into 12 muffin cases and bake at 190°C for 20 minutes. They won't rise much, but will turn golden on the outside.
  5. To fry them instead, flatten into discs and shallow fry in coconut oil on a high heat for about 2 minutes per side.

This may be called "Johnny Cake " but I couldn't tell anything that made it different from regular ol' cornbread. Pretty good cornbread although it's a bit denser than I thought it would be. (I'd like to find a cornbread recipe a little moister and lighter.) In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. In a second large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, water, eggs and sugar. Add the buttermilk mixture into the flour and stir until just combined. In a cast iron skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until just barely shimmering.
