johnny cakes
Johnny Cakes are delicious, easy and quick to make fried cornbread cakes made with pantry staples. Cornbread lovers consider yourself warned because these little nuggets are so tasty. I love to serve them warm out of the pan with all kinds of goodies. They go great with scrambled or fried eggs, Turkey Chili, and Creamy Ham and Potato Soup! Just to name a few!
