Hamster's Johnny Cake - no dairy and no white flour

[ecstatichamster]

Ingredients:

1 cup of nixtamalized flour into a medium bowl
best to use Bob's Red Mill or this:
Chef-Grade Masa Flour (Harina) - Masienda

1 tablespoon of no-aluminum baking POWDER (Rumsford)
1 teaspoon of fine kosher salt
1 tablespoon granulated white sugar

3 eggs beaten
1 cup water

2 tablespoons of butter (optional, I use grass fed butter) cut into small pieces

Put the dry ingredients into a medium bowl and stir to combine.

Then in a second bowl add the eggs and water. Beat and combine.

Now add the wet to the dry ingredients and mix everything up with a spoon.

Now scrape into a 10 inch saute or fry pan. Optional: put pats of butter on top of the batter before baking

Put into oven set at 400F for 20 minutes (check with thermometer, should be 190-ish, no need to pre heat)

This makes a tasty platform for jam, more butter, anything you want. It can be very satisfying and doesn't cause me any gut issues at all.

Ideas:
Add curry powder (toast it in a dry pan first) to the dry ingredients first

Or fold in finely chopped hot peppers (serranos) to the batter

Or fold in chunks of cheddar cheese to the batter

Sounds delicious. But, butter and cheese = dairy.

Sounds delicious, Hamster, I will check it out!
One quick question: Do you grease and dust with flour the pan so that the mix does not stick to it when baking?

Perfect, thanks hamster!

Going to try that.
