OLD-FASHIONED JOHNNY CAKE



Old-Fashioned Johnny Cake image

Canadian style Johnny Cake is a cornmeal cake, typically served hot topped with maple syrup and butter. As this is a very lightly sweet cake, it is suitable plain as a side for chili, too!

Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup pastry flour (sifted first, then measured *see Note 1)
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp fine salt
1/3 cup brown sugar (light or dark, lightly packed)
1 cup yellow cornmeal
7/8 cup milk (3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp)
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
3 Tbsp shortening (melted and slightly cooled or same amount of vegetable/canola oil)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400F (not convection bake). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan and set aside.
  • Sift the flour and then measure. Sift together with the baking powder and salt into a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix in the brown sugar and cornmeal.
  • In a small bowl, beat together the milk, egg, vanilla and melted shortening. (Shortening may solidify a bit, but that's ok). Add this mixture all at once to the flour mixture and mix just until well combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared baking pan and bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden and the edges have pulled away from the sides of the pan.
  • Cut into squares and serve hot with maple syrup and butter.

GREAT-GRANDMOTHER STEINBECK'S JOHNNYCAKE (CORNBREAD)



Great-Grandmother Steinbeck's Johnnycake (Cornbread) image

This recipe is out of my great-grandmother Bertha Iva Steinbeck's recipe box. She really was John Steinbeck's aunt. She lived in Hollister, California, and died in the '30s. I've been making this since I was about 5 years old when my grandmother, Agnes Steinbeck Bowman decided I was old enough to learn to cook. It was actually the second thing I learned to cook...she wanted to see how I handled scrambled eggs before she introduced me to something that demanded some technique! I've never tasted better cornbread in my 47 years.
