My husband and I saw this on Diners Drive ins and Dives last night and since we love pancakes had to find a recipe. I could not believe how easy this was, was not expecting a big deal from such easy ingredients. Boy was I wrong!! They were delicious!! I did have to thin it down a little with the milk. This recipe made 6 4-inch size cakes.

My husband just saw this on Diners Drive-ins and Dives, too, and insisted on making it this morning!! Don't know how good they are, but we'll give it a try...

I made these this afternoon for Brunch for my family. I have to say they were the easy to make and sooo delicious. Definitely going to replace pancakes as the go to Weekend brunch food.

I love these! I make them quite often. For someone with a wheat allergy these are great! thank you for sharing. mmmuuuaaahh!

So good, I am going to have this again tomorrow!

Have not made this recipe, but since I am a Rhode Islander, here are a couple of family hints: you must use white corn meal (preferably Kenyons brand, which is ground in RI), a caste iron frying pan, bacon grease for frying is the preference and "scalding" water. Also, when frying 5 mins on one side 6 mins on the other. Thicker cakes are more traditional, but thin are good also.

Saw this on Diners Drive-ins and Dives last night, had to try. Almost like moist arepa only easier.

My mom would often make these in her cast iron skillet and used the cornmeal from Kenyon's, of course. However, if you're not a Rhode islander, their website has recipes, background information, and mail-order. Johnny cakes are great as a sub for pancakes at breakfast with butter and maple syrup, but they are also nice served as a savory side.
