They are a traditional food in many Caribbean countries, as well as in parts of the Southern United States. The name &#8220;Johnny Cake&#8221; is said to have originated from the early American explorers, who carried the ingredients for the cakes with them on long journeys. When it was time to eat, they would mix the ingredients together and cook the cakes over an open flame, hence the name &#8220;journey cakes.&#8221; Today, Johnny Cakes are often served as a breakfast food or as a side dish to a main meal.<\/p>\n\t\n            <div class=\"wpzoom-nosleep-toggle-container\">\n            <label class=\"switch\">\n                <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"toggle_button\">\n                <div class=\"slider round\"><\/div>\n            <\/label>\n                                <span class=\"wpzoom-nosleep-label\">Cook Mode<\/span>\n                                            <p class=\"recipe-card-no-sleep no-print\">Keep the screen of your device on<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n    \n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"recipe-card-ingredients\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"ingredients-title\">Ingredients<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"ingredients-list layout-2-columns\"><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-ingredient-item-6371b2386deec\" class=\"ingredient-item\"><span class=\"tick-circle\"><\/span><p class=\"ingredient-item-name is-strikethrough-active\">    <span class=\"wpzoom-rcb-ingredient-name\">1 cup stone-ground cornmeal<\/span><\/p><\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-ingredient-item-6371b2386deee\" class=\"ingredient-item\"><span class=\"tick-circle\"><\/span><p class=\"ingredient-item-name is-strikethrough-active\">    <span class=\"wpzoom-rcb-ingredient-name\">3 teaspoons sugar<\/span><\/p><\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-ingredient-item-6371b2386deef\" class=\"ingredient-item\"><span class=\"tick-circle\"><\/span><p class=\"ingredient-item-name is-strikethrough-active\">    <span class=\"wpzoom-rcb-ingredient-name\">1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/span><\/p><\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-ingredient-item-6371b2386def0\" class=\"ingredient-item\"><span class=\"tick-circle\"><\/span><p class=\"ingredient-item-name is-strikethrough-active\">    <span class=\"wpzoom-rcb-ingredient-name\">2 1\/2 cups water<\/span><\/p><\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-ingredient-item-1668395712068231\" class=\"ingredient-item\"><span class=\"tick-circle\"><\/span><p class=\"ingredient-item-name is-strikethrough-active\">    <span class=\"wpzoom-rcb-ingredient-name\">2 tablespoons unsalted butter<\/span><\/p><\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-ingredient-item-1668395712765236\" class=\"ingredient-item\"><span class=\"tick-circle\"><\/span><p class=\"ingredient-item-name is-strikethrough-active\">    <span class=\"wpzoom-rcb-ingredient-name\">butter or oil for frying<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"recipe-card-directions\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"directions-title\">Directions<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<ul class=\"directions-list\"><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-6371b2386def2\" class=\"direction-step\">Whisk together the cornmeal, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl.
