To make Johnny Cakes:

 

 

 

Ingredients:

 

Sift before measuring:

 

2 cups of flour

Resift it with:

 

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

Using two knives or a pastry blender, cut into the flour:

 

2 tsp. butter

Combine and stir until the sugar is dissolved:

 

1/3 cup water

2 tsp. sugar

 

 

To make dough, add the liquid a little at a time to the flour. Turn the

dough onto a floured surface and knead it well. Pinch off pieces, roll them

into small balls and flatten into circles two inches in diameter and

one-fourth inch thick. Or roll out dough to the same thickness and cut

cirkles with a cookie cutter. Fry the cakes in hot fat until they are puffy

and golden. (A cast iron skillet is ideal for this, but it must be kept

heavily greased by adding oil from time to time while the cakes are frying).

Drain the cakes on absorbent paper and keep them warm in the oven. Breakfast

johhny cakes are delicious when split and buttered immediately. Smaller

cakes, filled with cream cheese, may be served at tea time.
