Best Johnnie Cake Aka Sweet Corn Bread Recipes
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!

GREAT-GRANDMOTHER STEINBECK'S JOHNNYCAKE (CORNBREAD)
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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease an 8 inch glass baking dish.
- Sift the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, corn oil and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix just until blended. Pour into the prepared pan, and shake gently to level it out.
- Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown. Serve hot. Just with butter will do, it is plenty sweet enough!

MOIST JOHNNY CAKE
A favorite recipe from my Grandmother's recipe box. Raised in western Micjigan, I always thought that cornbread should be sweet. I found, when I settled in the South, that it 'taint always so. But I still like it better that way!

JOHNNIE CAKE (AKA SWEET CORN BREAD)
Growing up, Corn bread was a staple at our house. But Johnnie cake was a real treat, especially slathered in real butter. We even ate the leftovers for breakfast, crumbled in milk.
