Johnny Cakes with Rhubarb and Sour Cherries by Sarah Copeland

These aren’t textbook Johnny cakes, but this recipe makes utterly gorgeous pancakes and is still easy enough to make on repeat every weekend.

SERVES 4 (OR MAKES 8 LARGE PANCAKES)

Johnny cakes are an addictive southern specialty, set apart from regular pancakes for their texture and taste. Their corn flavor is hard to mistake, making them a perfect backdrop for butter and maple syrup. My family especially loves them with a bit of tangy, juicy summer fruit on top: rhubarb, lightly steeped in maple syrup and tossed with sour cherries or raspberries.
