Old Fashioned Johnny Cakes

November 5, 2006 / Nicki / 0 Comments

Recipe Source: cooks.com / anonymous submission

Ingredients:

1 egg
2 c. white or yellow cornmeal
1 tsp. salt
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 c. milk

Directions:

Beat 1 egg. Stir in 2 cups white or yellow corn meal, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups milk (to make batter thick). Drop spoonfuls of batter onto a well-greased hot griddle and fry to a golden brown on each side. Stir batter occasionally to keep well mixed. Serve hot with butter.

Makes 12 Johnny cakes.

Recipe Background:

Also known as: Johnnycakes, jonnycake, ashcake, battercake, corn cake, cornpone, hoecake, hoe cake, journey cake, mush bread, pone, Shawnee cake, jonakin, and jonikin. These are all regional names for cornmeal flatbread. The name, exact type of batter and cooking method varies from region to region. They may be cooked over the ashes of a campfire, on hot stones, on a griddle, in a cast iron pan, or in the oven.

The original New England Johnnycake was a dry flat bread made with corn meal, salt and water, and baked on hot stones. Native Americans showed the Pilgrims how to cook with corn (maize) and most likely taught them how to make johnnycakes.

The origin of the name is in dispute, possibly a corruption of Shawnee cake (from the Shawnee Indians) or ‘journey cake’ because it was easily prepared by travelers, or possibly based on some long forgotten Indian word by way of ‘jonakin’ or ‘jonikin.’

Also popular in the Atlantic Midland and Southern States in the United States, versions (made with other types of whole meal other than corn) are also found in the West Indies and Australia. Modern version are frequently made with eggs, oil, and baking powder for leavening.

There’s also an old English fairytale involving a foolish Johnny-Cake and a hungry fox.

Cornbread Dressing

Recipe Source: Down Home Soul Food Cooking Blog

Ingredients:

2 large onions, chopped
6-8 c. cornbread, crumbled
6 large biscuits, crumbled
1 cup milk
6 eggs, beaten
1 stick butter, melted
1 T. sage, or to taste
1 T. poultry seasoning, or to taste
4 cans chicken broth
salt to taste
pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix crumbled cornbread and biscuits with sage, poultry seasoning, salt, pepper and onions. This can be done several hours before cooking to allow to dry out and let flavors meld together (I do this step the day before). Beat eggs and mix with milk, melted butter and chicken broth. Pour liquid mixture over bread mixture and mix well. Dressing batter should be very moist, almost soupy. Add more chicken broth, as needed to achieve the right consistency. Spray baking pans with non-stick cooking spray. Pour raw dressing into baking pans and bake until golden brown.
