Mom's Johnny Cake image

I remember making this growing up from a handwritten recipe that my mom kept in a plastic sleeve. It's one of the first recipes I learned to make, and along with her banana bread recipe, the first place I learned to 'sour' milk by adding a little lemon juice or vinegar to the milk. Serve with butter and honey and a glass or milk for a great snack, or serve as a side dish to chili, fried chicken, or just about anything that you'd enjoy a hunk of cornbread with! njoy!

Time 25m

Yield 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup sour milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 tablespoon lard (we always used vegetable shortening)
1 cup flour
1 cup cornmeal

Steps:

  • Mom's instructions simply say: Mix all ingredients together. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
  • I remember making this in a weird little rectangular pan, which I'm sure we greased. I would estimate this to fit in an 8 or 9 inch square pan, Adjust time accordingly, as the 8 inch will make a litte thicker cake. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean--no longer--so it will stay moist.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my Johnny cakes didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These Johnny cakes were just okay. They were a bit dry and bland for my taste.
