Rooted in Australia’s shepherding and traveling traditions, johnny cakes are made by cooking a simple batter of flour, baking powder, and milk on a griddle. Getting the batter consistency right takes practice, especially for cooks who are not used to cooking without measuring tools.
Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
Add the milk to the dry mixture to make a smooth, pourable batter. It should be neither too thin nor too thick; getting the consistency right takes practice.
Melt the butter in a pan, then pour in round portions of batter. Cook until golden, for 3 minutes on each side and 12 minutes total.
Keep the pan over medium heat; high heat can burn the outside while leaving the inside raw. Allergen: contains gluten and dairy.
