Trying new recipes!
Sep. 4th, 2017 10:48 amYesterday morning, I wanted something other than my usual for breakfast, starting with something hot. However, I had no eggs, which seriously limits my breakfast options. I remembered johnnycakes, though, which in simplest form call for only cornmeal, water, sugar, and salt. I had all four, so I made johnnycakes.
Making them turned out to be very easy; the hardest part was spreading out the batter in the frying pan. I worked from johnny cakes (from Tablespoon). The recipe assumes a smaller frying pan; my big pan wanted two tablespoons of butter for the first round, and an additional tablespoon for the second. I had no milk, so I used water in its place. I also reduced the recipe to 1/4 of what it called for. That quarter recipe was just about right for an experimental run, and fed me breakfast with no leftovers.
The cornmeal mush glued itself to the pan when it initially went in, but came loose and turned over easily when it was time to do so. To eat, I cut them up and dipped them in maple syrup. Nom! Will make again.
