Johnny Cake/Jonny Cake

After Griddle scones, today we are landing towards one of the early American staple food prepared with cornmeal called Johnny cake. Johnny cake is also known as journey cake, jonny cake, shawnee cake and johnny bread. Johnny cake goes for yellow cornmeal,this food might have been probably originates from the native inhabitants of North America and it is still eaten in West Indies, Dominican Republic, Bahamas, Colombia, Bermuda and also in United States.Johnny cake is a type of pancakes or a unleavened cornbread prepared with cornmeal,water and milk.Johnny cakes may also prepared using leavening or without also with eggs or not. Like pancakes, they are often served with maple syrup,honey or with an other sweet toppings.

However Johnny cakes seems to be prepared with many variations, everyone have their own way of making these cakes. I opted for a simple version of this recipe from here, this easy version of Johnny cake goes for a yellow cornmeal batter prepared with boiled water,milk along with sugar and salt. This batter later cooked in griddle or pan with butter gives an excellent flavor to this pancakes.This Johnny cakes is my second recipe for the theme of this week's blogging marathon.
