Johnnycake

Not really sure why this one is called Johnnycake (a perversion of journey cake, perhaps?), but it's a recipe that my family has had for a long time. It really goes well with soup.


Johnnycake

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup shortening
1 cup milk

Preheat the oven to 350F. 

Mix the dry ingredients. Cut in the shortening. Add the milk all at once. Stir until moistened. Pour into a greased 8x8 baking pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out smooth. 

Serves: 4-6
