# Johnny Cake Recipe - Made In

Chef Dawn Burrell brings us her take on the classic cornmeal johnny cake, paired with sorghum-glazed bacon and topped with corn cream. 

Johnny cakes are a beloved Southern staple that likely originated as an Indigenous dish. Chef Dawn Burrell developed this recipe from memories of the ones her grandmother used to make growing up. Check out her forthcoming restaurant Late August for more takes on comfort food from all over the world.

If you’re short on time, you can just whip up a batch of these hearty cornmeal pancakes on the Griddle, but if you can, take the time to candy some thick cut bacon in a sweet and spicy sorghum glaze and purée fresh corn into a savory cream sauce. The mixture of flavors and textures are perfectly balanced and lead to a delicious and filling meal.
