Jalapeno Johnny Cake image

A recipe that I just tossed together and it came out so well that I thought I'd post it! I'm sure you could omit the cheese and peppers and add honey or sugar to make a sweet version of this. You could also add chopped onion, green onions, green chillies, etc for a slightly different flavour. You could also put creamed corn but if you do, I'd probably decrease the amount of milk.

Time 30m

Yield 12-16 johnny cakes, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups cornmeal
2 cups milk
4 tablespoons melted butter
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped finely
1/2 cup grated tex Mexican blend cheese
4 eggs, beaten slightly
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Put dry ingredients (except for the Jalapeño pepper and cheese in one bowl and wet ingredients in another).
  • Mix together a little at a time and let sit for fifteen minutes, occasionally stirring.
  • Then put about a tsp or two of oil in a frying pan and make it hot.
  • Just before frying the johnny cakes, add the cheese and jalapeño peppers and stir well.
  • Drop by pot spoons onto a hot griddle just as you would if you were making pancakes. Wait till bubbles form on top and then flip and fry on the other side until golden brown.
  • Serve with jalapeno dip, sour cream or eat plain.
