Mom'S Johnny Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sour milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon lard (we always used vegetable shortening)
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup cornmeal

Instructions

  1. Mom's instructions simply say: Mix all ingredients together. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
  2. I remember making this in a weird little rectangular pan, which I'm sure we greased. I would estimate this to fit in an 8 or 9 inch square pan, Adjust time accordingly, as the 8 inch will make a litte thicker cake. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean--no longer--so it will stay moist.
