Originally known as "journey cakes" or "hoecakes," this classic favorite was so named for it's long-keeping qualities. We'd like to think our Southern Johnny Cakes keep just as long, but we wouldn't know since we just gobble 'em up soon as they're ready!

Self raising cornmeal. Never heard of it, where to get it in Canada?

Hi there! If you cannot find self-rising cornmeal, we have an easy fix for you. You can use 1 cup (regular) cornmeal + 1/2 teaspoon baking soda as a substitution for self-rising cornmeal in this recipe. We hope that you love this recipe as much as we do. Enjoy!

Really did like them. The recipe is a keeper. I usually make my hoecakes out of a box of Jiffy biscuit mix. I mix it up and pour into a small iron skillet that I have melted a couple tablespoons of butter in. I cook them until the batter is sit on one side then flip it over. This makes one large hoecake that I then slice.

Made these for dinner this evening. Definitely a keeper. I like the texture of them. My husband also really liked them. Thanks for the great recipe!
