About Johnny cakes
Johnny Cakes, also known as journey cakes, are a traditional cornmeal flatbread with roots in Native American and Caribbean cuisines. This dish is made primarily from cornmeal, salt, water, and sometimes milk or sugar, mixed into a batter and cooked on a griddle or skillet. The simplicity of the recipe allows for slight regional variations in ingredients and preparation. Johnny Cakes are naturally gluten-free due to the absence of wheat flour, making them suitable for those with gluten sensitivities. The use of whole-grain cornmeal provides fiber and essential nutrients such as magnesium and B vitamins. However, they can be calorie-dense depending on added ingredients like butter or syrup and the method of cooking, such as frying in oil. Enjoyed as a versatile side dish or snack, Johnny Cakes are a flavorful example of heritage cuisine that blends hearty sustenance with cultural tradition.
