Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or pan.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the Johnny Cake from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Step 8
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite topping. Enjoy!
