Pas Old Fashioned Johnny Cake

    Cuisine:

    i was looking for this recipe since many years. use to spend my summers in the country at my grand parents place, by a lake, and my grand mother use to prepare this cake that she was calling Johnny cake in the oven of the wood stove where the heat was a little uneven. The bottom was always dark brown, and it gave a fantastic taste to the cake. She use to throw big cristal of sugar on the warm top crust, just before taking the cake out.
    I am from the Eastern Township in Quebec, it took me a while before realizing that this recipe was coming from aunts on my grand mother's side who had move to Road Island during the great depression. Now that I have the recipe, and as I can't eat eat, I replace the flour with a Pamela pancake mix with almond flour and rice flour and the taste is amazing... Love it!

    Pa’s Old-Fashioned Johnny Cake / Cornbread,The plain version was a staple during my dad’s Depression-years childhood; but we rarely had it when I was growing up. My children expect this at least once a month as a regular feature on our Saturday morning breakfast menu OR when we have breakfast-for-supper. Prepare the optional sausage and hard-boiled eggs ahead of time, and it goes together quicker-n-anything!,i was looking for this recipe since many years. use to spend my summers in the country at my grand parents place, by a lake, and my grand mother use to prepare this cake that she was calling Johnny cake in the oven of the wood stove where the heat was a little uneven.
