Jonnycakes

Ingredients

Here is an example of a common jonnycake recipe that makes eight to ten cakes.

  • 1 cup ground white or yellow corn meal
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups boiling water
  • ½ cup milk (optional)

Combine corn meal, salt, and sugar and mix well. Gradually stir in water until mixture is smooth. It will be quite thick and the consistency of mashed potatoes. For thinner jonnycakes, add up to ½ cup milk or water.

Heat griddle and thoroughly grease with butter. Drop batter by tablespoons onto griddle and fry over medium heat for about six minutes or until small bubbles pop on top of the pancake. Be careful griddle is not too hot. Turn and cook on the other side for another six minutes. Serve buttered with maple or pancake syrup.
