Johnny Cake

Another classic recipe from my San Francisco roommate who called “Great aunt Bertha’s Johnny cake”!

What I love about this one is that it is not overly sweet so you get to adjust the richness and decadence. You can have it with a little maple syrup as heather liked it or you can be crazy decadent like me and add Salted caramel, strawberries and even Ice cream! You make it the way you like it! It is super easy too!

  • 2 Eggs – beaten together
