SO HOW'D IT GO?
These were really delicious! Thanks for the recipe!
so good! I've never had Johnny Cakes before, so I tried this recipe. They are so awesomely delicious! Kinda like fried grits :)>>>. Next time I'm gonna try them with a little nutritional yeast, whole sweet corn kernels, and a dash of cayenne. Yum.
I made these for breakfast at a non-veg mate's house with cornstarch and water for the egg substitute, and everyone loved them! No one realised they were vegan. Fantastic with blackberry jam or marmalade.
Yum!
I used 1Tb. flaxseed plus 3Tb. of water for my egg substitute and added a *smidge* less water (preferring a thicker batter/cake). Also tasty topped with salsa!
