Johnny Cakes

I grew up in Hingham, Massachusetts, a small coastal town located just south of Boston, where Johnny Cakes are part of New England's rich culinary tradition. In nearby Little Compton, Rhode Island at Sakonnet Vineyards Country Store Susan and Earl Sampson serve Johnny Cakes for breakfast. I've made their Johnny Cakes a tradition in my life and I hope this recipe will become a tradition in your home.
