Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups All-purpose flour

Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix. Stir in the melted butter.
  • Heat a lightly greased griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles appear on the surface.
  • Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fruit, or butter.

Notes

These johnny cakes are a delightful twist on traditional pancakes, offering a slightly denser and chewier texture. Adjust cooking time as needed based on your stovetop.
