**Johnnycakes, also known as journey cakes, are a type of flatbread that originated in the Southern United States.** They are made with simple ingredients such as cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and buttermilk. Johnnycakes can be cooked in a variety of ways, including frying, baking, or grilling. They are often served with butter, honey, or molasses. This article provides three different recipes for johnnycakes: a traditional recipe, a vegan recipe, and a gluten-free recipe.
**The traditional johnnycake recipe** uses all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and buttermilk. The ingredients are mixed together and then cooked in a hot skillet until golden brown.
**The vegan johnnycake recipe** uses almond flour, oat flour, baking powder, salt, and almond milk. The ingredients are mixed together and then cooked in a hot skillet until golden brown.
**The gluten-free johnnycake recipe** uses almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and eggs. The ingredients are mixed together and then cooked in a hot skillet until golden brown.
All three recipes are easy to follow and make delicious johnnycakes that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Place and press biscuit dough into the bottom of the baking pan and halfway up the sides.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Leave the oven on.

- Add onion and bell peppers to the same skillet and cook over medium heat until slightly tender, about 5 minutes.
- Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese, and 1/2 of the onions in a bowl.
- Layer browned meat, tomatoes, pepper-onion mixture, jalapeno peppers, and sour cream mixture on top of the prebaked biscuit dough. Sprinkle with remaining Cheddar cheese.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Rub the flour, sugar and butter together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Alternatively, you can do this in the food processor. Add enough egg to bring the mixture together to form a stiff dough.
- Flour your hands and shape the dough into a tube, about 5cm in diameter. Cut into 2cm-thick slices and place on a large baking sheet. Space them out as the mixture will spread when baking.
- Make a small indentation in the middle of each slice with the end of a wooden spoon, and drop a tsp of jam in the centre. Bake for 10-15 mins until slightly risen and just golden. Cool on a wire rack.

CHEF JOHN'S BUTTER PUFF BISCUIT DOUGH
This biscuit dough is similar to puff pastry but uses a much less fussy procedure. It works great for fruit tarts, ham and cheese turnovers, and chocolate croissants--and of course, plain biscuits served with butter and jam.

Steps:
- Place self-rising flour and cold water in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using dough hook attachment knead to form a soft, slightly elastic, but not too sticky dough, about 2 minutes. Form dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
- Place chilled dough on a floured surface and roll out to a 1/2-inch thick rectangle using just enough flour to keep it from sticking. Grate about 4 tablespoons of frozen butter onto the surface of the dough to within about 1/2 inch of the edge. Lightly flour a sheet of plastic wrap. Spread the plastic wrap, floured side down, onto the butter and gently press the butter into the dough. Carefully remove the plastic wrap.
- Fold 1/3 of the dough over the middle third; then fold the other 1/3 over the middle into a tri-fold with 2 layers of butter. Roll dough again into a rectangle, brush off excess flour, and create another tri-fold. Roll again to about a 1-inch thickness. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for another 30 minutes.
- Place chilled dough again on a floured surface, roll into a rectangle, and make another tri-fold. Roll back out again into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Grate about 3 tablespoons butter onto the surface of the dough. Cover with floured plastic wrap and press butter into dough. Remove plastic wrap. Give dough another tri-fold and press layers together. Roll out dough and fold in half. Roll out again, and fold in half. Roll out dough one more time. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill until ready to use.
- Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C); see Cook's Note.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Spray a 10 1/2 inch cast iron skillet with non stick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and sugar. Cut in the shortening and softened butter with a fork until the lumps are pea size. Gently stir in the buttermilk until all of the flour is incorporated; do not over mix. The dough should be very wet. If not, add more buttermilk to achieve a sloppy consistency. Let stand for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Place all-purpose flour in a bowl. Spray an ice cream scoop or large spoon with vegetable spray and scoop out dough. Drop each biscuit one at a time into the flour. Using well-floured hands, pick up each piece and pass from hand to hand lightly to shake off excess flour and shape it into a soft round. Place the biscuits gently into cast iron skillet. They will be a tight fit. Do not mash the biscuits down! Brush tops lightly with melted butter.
- Bake at 475 degrees F (245 degrees C) for 16 to 18 minutes. Cool before serving.

Tips:
- Using cold butter is key. Cold butter creates steam in the oven, which helps the biscuits rise and become flaky.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Make sure the biscuits are chilled before baking. Chilling the biscuits helps them hold their shape and rise properly.
- Bake the biscuits at a high temperature. A high temperature helps the biscuits rise quickly and evenly.
- Don't overcook the biscuits. Overcooked biscuits will be dry and crumbly. Bake them just until they are golden brown.
Conclusion:
Johnny's Biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these flaky, buttery biscuits right at home. Whether you prefer them plain, with butter and jam, or with a hearty gravy, Johnny's Biscuits are sure to please everyone at the table.
