Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup(s) butter, at room temperature + extra for greasing the pan

1/2 cup(s) water
1/2 tablespoon(s) salt

3/4 cup(s) milk or coconut milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Heat a cast iron skillet in the oven while it preheats and you prep the johnnycake.
  • *Use an electric mixer and beat the butter and sugar together until creamy and light yellow. *It is helpful to use a stand up mixer to prepare this recipe if you have one.
  • Add the flour, water, salt and baking powder *just* until combined.
  • Pour in the milk slowly until the batter is sticky. DO NOT over-mix the batter!
  • Carefully grease the cast iron skillet with butter and pour in the batter. Flatten the top.
  • Bake 1 HOUR or until the edges of the johnnycake are browned. Note: the johnnycake will not rise very much.
