Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup(s) butter, at room temperature + extra for greasing the pan
3/4 cup(s) granulated sugar
4 cup(s) flour (i usually use pastry flour for unleavened bread)
1/2 cup(s) water
1/2 tablespoon(s) salt
2 tablespoon(s) baking powder
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.
