Johnny Cakes

September 18, 2018

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to show you a tasty Johnny Cakes recipes.  If you’ve never had one before, its the glorious combo of cornbread meets pancake. SO GOOD, so simple, and a definite must-try. Let’s dive in.

Begin roasting two large green chilis using a kitchen torch or broiler. 

Roast all sides until they begin the char.

Cover the roasted chilis and let them steam.

While that steams, add 1/2 cup of cornmeal to a mixing bowl.

Add 1/2 cup of semolina, 1/4 cup of cake flour…

…2 tsp of baking powder, 2 tbsp of sugar…

..and 1/2 cup of milk.

Next, add in two whole eggs, but save the egg whites of one egg and add that to a separate bowl and set aside.

Mix ingredients well and set aside.

Begin whipping the egg whites with 2-3 tbsp of honey…

…until they form soft peaks.

Now that the chilis are steamed, deseed them as much as possible and give them a solid dice.

Add the diced chilis to the batter and give this a quick mix.

Next, you are going to gently fold in the honey whipped egg whites.

Once combined, add 1 tbsp of butter to a hot skillet.

Pour in the batter until three-quarters of the skillet is filled.

Cook for a few minutes on medium heat. 

Transfer to a 375°F oven for about 10 minutes…

…or until the top of the cake is golden brown.

Lastly, top with a dollop of sour cream…

…freshly sliced scallions…

…cracked pepper…

…a drizzle of honey…

…and salt to taste.  ENJOY!
