PA'S OLD-FASHIONED JOHNNY CAKE / CORNBREAD
The plain version was a staple during my dad's Depression-years childhood; but we rarely had it when I was growing up. My children expect this at least once a month as a regular feature on our Saturday morning breakfast menu OR when we have breakfast-for-supper. Prepare the optional sausage and hard-boiled eggs ahead of time, and it goes together quicker-n-anything!

- Bake for 25-30 minutes--top will be golden-brown.
- Serve with butter and maple syrup.
- OPTION #1: Add 1 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese.
- OPTION #2: Add 1/2 - 1 cup of sweet corn (plain kernels); adds a neat "chewy" texture to the 'cake.'
- OPTION #3: Add 6 hard-boiled, chopped eggs.
- OPTION #4: Add 1 pound fried & drained pork sausage (crumbled) or links (bite-size).
- TIME-SAVING HINT: Gather a handful of 1-quart zipper bags, fill with DRY ingredients, and store in your cupboard. At meal-time, add wet ingredients as described.
OLD-FASHIONED JOHNNY CAKE
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!

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.

JOHNNY CAKES (THE BAHAMAS)
This recipe Is from week 19 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and The Bahamas are my 19th stop. Johnny cakes are served all over the Caribbean, but they make them a little differently in the Bahamas (without cornmeal).

Steps:
- Mix all the dry ingredients together, then cut in the shortening. Work the mixture with your hands until the grains are about the size of rice.
- Add milk until you get a soft dough (I had to use a bit more than the recipe called for).
- Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth.
- Let the dough rest for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a greased 9x9 inch pan. You will have to press it down so it fills in all the corners. Poke the top of the dough a few times with a fork.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. You can tell the cake is done when it starts to turn a little golden around the edges.
