What are Johnny Cakes?

Johnny cakes (hoecakes) are soft and tender cornmeal flatbreads made from a quick batter that's cooked in a skillet on the stovetop.

They are made with finely ground cornmeal and often flour, then mixed with a liquid such as buttermilk, milk or water. A fat such as oil, bacon drippings, lard or butter are also included to keep them rich and moist. And eggs are included to bind ingredients.

They were an early American, inexpensive staple food and they are popular in regions from Canada, the Unites States and down to Jamaica and other islands coming in many different variations.

To give you comparisons to foods you may likely be familiar with, they are like a cross between pancakes and cornbread. In other words they are the perfect homestyle comfort food and are absolutely delicious!

And you'll love that it's simple enough for a weekday, yet impressive enough for a weekend dinner with guests! This post is sponsored by Danish Creamery. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Chicken with the Best White Wine Sauce Chicken breasts are pan seared until perfectly browned and tender. Then finely diced onions are sautéed until they've picked up some color. Next, bright white wine and chicken broth are added and simmered to concentrate their flavor. Last but not least, the sauce is polished off with rich butter. And we don't just use any ordinary butter. Here we use the ultra delicious, extra luxurious Danish Creamery European Style Butter Danish Creamery European Style Butter which is slow churned in small batches for a velvety texture and rich flavor.
