Johnny cakes or Hoe cakes were made mostly be southern troops. They could be made over the camp fire or your kitchen stove with ease. Well lets get started.

2 Cups of Yellow corn meal

1/4 All purpose flour

2 Tbsp. Sugar

1/2 Tsp. Salt

2 Tsp. Vegetable oil or lard

2/3 Cup milk (Optional)

1 Mixing bowl

1 Frying pan

Add corn meal, milk or water, salt and sugar into mixing bowl. Mix until you have a batter close to pancake mix. Add oil to your frying pan and place biscuit size dodgers into the hot oil. Cook on both sides until golden brown. For a nice touch top with a little fresh made butter and molasses for that southern touch.

* Note: You are cooking near an open flame as well as hot

oil. Please take care in doing so.
