@foodforkash Johnny Cakes

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of flour
• 3 tsp of baking powder
• 1 tsp of salt
• 2-3 tsp of brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 cups of cold water
• 2 cups of extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

1. Add flour, baking powder, salt and sugar (I use brown sugar), to a mixing bowl. Whisk together. 
2. Add in softened butter gradually, while pressing between fingers.
3. Add in cold water gradually to form dough. (Note you may not need the entire 2 cups, just be mindful of dough consistency- if the dough is sticking to your fingers, sprinkle some additional flour to balance the consistency). Knead dough accordingly until the mixing bowl is clean. 
4. Cover the mixing bowl with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
5. Now begin taking pieces of the dough and roll into small balls. (Remember, while cooking, the dough will expand, so the smaller the better).
6. Heat 2 cups of oil in a pan (I used a Dutch pot) Once heated, begin dropping the dough balls into the pan. The Johnny cakes will begin to float to the top once the first side is cooked.
7. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side. Turn Johnny cakes accordingly to evenly cook.
8. Serve with corned beef and enjoy!
